Baseball didn’t test for opioids. So that is how his addiction went undetected.

And I’m sure there are other players, white and black, using drugs without other people knowing about it. Players are using PEDs like crazy, because they know how to beat the testing,so I’m sure the same goes for opioids.

Dude was addicted to drugs for whatever reason, and that should be acknowledged, just like it’s observed for African Americans. They are trying to paint him as some innocent victim who made a simple mistake.
