Big Papi worked out at gym of steroid-linked trainer Presinal
Red Sox slugger David Ortiz admitted to working out at the gym of Angel Presinal’s in the Dominican Republic. Presinal is the trainer who has been banned from private sectors of MLB clubhouses due to his ties to steroids and recently was mentioned as having links to Alex Rodriguez.
“This place where he works out is a facility that’s like five minutes away from my house,” Ortiz said. “It’s like an Olympic place where everyone goes and hits, runs, gets all their work in. It’s like in the middle of everyone’s houses, so we all go down there and work out. He’s a good trainer. He’s the guy that teaches you how to train, how to get your body ready to go. Besides that, I have no idea about any of this.”
Presinal was banned from big league clubhouses in 2001 after border agents in Toronto intercepted a gym bag full of steroids that Presinal signed for. When questioned, he told investigators it belonged to Indians outfielder Juan Gonzalez.
“He got into some trouble before from what I hear, and that’s something he’s got to deal with, especially with what’s going on,” Ortiz said.
I wouldn’t read too much into this. Just because Ortiz is pumping iron and Presinal’s gym during the offseason doesn’t mean he’ll be the latest name mentioned in baseball’s ongoing steroid situation.
Bust Big Poopy…I want an investigation right now…I want him lined up in the hallway with A-Rod waiting to speak with those brillant investigaors of MLB.
This whole thing is as out of control as the Government is….neither one of them could find their ass with both hands. They dont know what their doing yet they are arrogant enough to keep it alive.
Maybe the plan is to force feed us all a bunch of nonsense until we just explode.
I’m getting stimulated allright…
I’m thinking Papi is too fat for Roids ……
C’mon JoeyB,
Papi is as clean as a Beyonce’s behind.
Admittedly he has slimmed down this year, like 15 pounds. So just that eliminates ‘roids. With the ‘clear stuff’ you pump up looking like a comic book super hero.
Papi played with a twice injured wrist last year, but still put up decent numbers. So he decided to loose some heft, put on some muscle, and get back to business being the most dangerous DH in the American League. But he’s doing it the normal way, without the tiny testicles!
Yeah, I think our good friend Joey Bronx is looking under a rock to find one Red Sox. Jeez, I saw a stat out there where 99 guys went through the yankee system under Joe Torre that had either tried,tested positive,used,admitted,etc.?? Sure they will look all over to make themselves not look so bad – They will do anything to protect the Evil Empire, Cripes, these guys have the highest paid – well, everything – and they still have the most amount of cheaters by a long shot ? Classy organization aye ?

Joey made some good points that somebody has missed…That was funny stuff Popi & A-Rod waiting in a hallway…can you imagine that conversation?
He is making fun of the investigators and the whole MLB-Steriod issue. I’m not sure who cares anymore..they all did it, knew somebody that did it and that’s that…
