In 2003, when he won the American League home run title and the AL Most Valuable Player award as a shortstop for the Texas Rangers, Alex Rodriguez tested positive for two anabolic steroids, four sources have independently told Sports Illustrated.


When approached by an SI reporter on Thursday at a gym in Miami, Rodriguez declined to discuss his 2003 test results. "You'll have to talk to the union," said Rodriguez, the Yankees' third baseman since his trade to New York in February 2004. When asked if there was an explanation for his positive test, he said, "I'm not saying anything."

well, that's just, like, your opinion, man. I like baseball. the problem is that steroids weren't illegal in baseball.

According to some people at a certain baseball forum, it is ok for the players to use steroids, because the pitchers were probably cheating too.

Thats a good message to send to our kids. Its ok to cheat in sports, because your opponent probably cheats too. Go ahead and cheat on your wife also, as she has probably been unfaithful as well, so its ok.

Oh, and using steroids doesn't give you an advantage anyway, apparently. That must be why so many players use it. Oh the stupidity. :scratch:

And steroids work alot better when you're some skinny kid than when you can already hit the ball, I imagine.

I don't know alot about the MLB, so I'm not going to pretent like I know anything, but I can imagine that his A-rod had way more advantage of taking steroids than someone like Bonds, who I happend to see hit his record-setting homerun on TV.

On the other hand, look at Brady. He was some horrible skinny kid at the combine and is pretty great now. With the NFL looking for illegal substances as much as they're doing, I doubt he achieved it by taking steroids.

you threw 90mph as a 15/16 year old? I'm glad i never played against you! striking out would have been the least of my concerns! i'd be much more worried about pooping when one of those zingers comes a little too close for comfort!
