Profile

Born Alexander Emmanuel Rodriguez in New York, New York on July 27,1975, A-Rod grew up in Miami and there began his early career at Westminster Christian School, His professional career began with the Seattle Mariners, before signing an unprecedented free agent deal with the Texas Rangers. On June 8, 2005 the 29-year-old A-Rod went down in the record books as the only player in baseball history to hit 400 home runs before reaching age 30. Alex Rodriguez one of the league best MLB players that have ever played since Jackie Robinson. Now he is finally admitting to the fact that he took performance enhancing drugs in the year 2002-2005. Now this is making the fans wonder is performance-enhancing drugs the reason why they liked him so much in 02and05. With people wonder it will raises so many more questions. Did ARod do all of this for the fans or for the fame? On national Television he told the world that he used performance enhancing drugs.
In an interview with ESPN's Peter Gammons, Rodriguez confirmed the essence of Saturday's Sports Illustrated report (Interview)Rodriguez, 33, apologized multiple times and took responsibility for his actions, showing no frustration over the fact the results from baseball's 2003 "survey" testing had been leaked. Those results, which came as baseball sought to gauge the need for a more stringent testing program which it ultimately instituted in 2004 were intended to remain anonymous and confidential. ) This is important because it tells that he really was sorry for what the fans had to find out behind scenes but there is nothing he can do to take it back now. So what he has to do is live with the shame. In 2004 there were more were about of the drug but could be explained on TV.

(2pt interview)"However, Rodriguez was ambiguous when answering questions about where and how he had procured the substances or even what those substances were. According to the Sports Illustrated report, he tested positive for testosterone and primobolan.There's many things that you can take that are banned substances. I mean, there are things that have been removed from GNC today that would trigger a positive test.") This shows that he knew what he was taking but really didn’t know why. Its important because now people know what he illegal drug he was taking and their are some question he didn’t know his self which made it look bad on his part as a role model and favorite player.('Where did you get it?' We're in the era of Balco.)
(3pt of interview)"While Hall of Fame voters have overwhelmingly snubbed McGwire Cooperstown's first test case of the so called "Steroids Era" there is still much of Rodriguez's legacy yet to be written. And yesterday's confession was a first attempt at reclaiming it.)This is such a true fact because it explains that even though he has gotten caught now it will still be more to come from this MLB star. We can’t call it quits now on the young star, even though it was a very tragic that could have ended his carrer. It has been said by (Julia)'"From This Day Forward, Any Player Who Tests Positive For A Banned Substance Is Thrown Out Of Baseball Period".
