That Gordon says he didn’t intentionally ingest the drugs is significant, and it’s reminiscent of what Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Chris Colabello has been saying since his suspension last week. Though he and Gordon tested positive for different substances (Gordon tested positive for exogenous testosterone and clostebol, while Colabello tested positive for dehydrochlormethyltestosterone), Colabello also says he didn’t know how they got into his system. However, neither he or Gordon are denying that the tests were positive.
Marlins President David Samson has also released a statement on Gordon’s suspension.
