This is a BS claim and will get overturned. I promise you all. Sad way to get attention at my expense. #guiltyuntilproveninnocent

A report has now surfaced from Marc Raimondi of ESPN stating that the TDLR suspended Ortiz last month after testing positive for a banned substance. That suspension has since ended, but Ortiz reportedly disclosed to the TDLR that he was taking the substance, which was not a performance enhancing drug (PED).

The no decision could still be reversed back to a victory for Ortiz, or it could be overturned to a no contest, depending on the investigation by the TDLR.
