A-fRod tests positive for steroids!

zootiehead · 02-07-09, 11:11 AM

It was 2003 but still....

Boner_18 · 02-07-09, 11:19 AM

Cmon. Regardless of how you feel about roids in baseball we all know that a large percentage of players from the high-school level to the pros have done or are doing steroids. I have no direct evidence of this but cmon.

daggerkobe · 02-07-09, 11:33 AM

Canseco was right again!

MLB should hire him as the anti roids czar to clean up baseball.

Mudcat · 02-07-09, 11:34 AM

Here's today's article in Sports Illustrated about it

But I'm sure he only too steroids just the once.

R3Sports · 02-07-09, 11:34 AM

haha, here comes the 10000+ hours of talk on this on ESPN.

BestPlay2day · 02-07-09, 11:37 AM

No surprise, players are already one step ahead of the drug tests anyways so I'm bettin Arod is still on the roids.

Mudcat · 02-07-09, 11:38 AM

As I see this, I think of all the people who made comments like, "At least when A-Rod passes Bonds, the home run record will be clean again."

Amazing that there are (were) still naive people like that after all that has happened.

B1GER1C828 · 02-07-09, 11:38 AM

roids ruin the integrity of the sport...real annoying 2 see people still do em

daggerkobe · 02-07-09, 11:45 AM

Canseco will be on every talk show starting Monday.

His 3rd book will be out shortly.

ryanXL977 · 02-07-09, 11:54 AM

AROD cheated too

this is delish

daggerkobe · 02-07-09, 11:56 AM

Also hearing that the players union tipped off A-fRod to a mandatory testing in Sept 04.

jjgold · 02-07-09, 11:57 AM

LOL

They all juiced including Jeter

ryanXL977 · 02-07-09, 11:57 AM

Boner_18 · 02-07-09, 11:58 AM

element1286 · 02-07-09, 12:00 PM

And baseball digs itself deeper and deeper into a the steroids mess, unbelievable.

ryanXL977 · 02-07-09, 12:00 PM

i highly doubt he stopped then
thats not how roids work

THEGREAT30 · 02-07-09, 12:01 PM

No lie. This only means that Rodriguez is/was as guilty as I suspect 90% of them.

SBR Lou · 02-07-09, 12:04 PM

New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez tested positive for steroids in 2003, Sports Illustrated is reporting.

Rodriguez won his first American League Most Valuable Player award in 2003 while with the Texas Rangers.

According to SI, Rodriguez’s name appears on a list of 104 players who tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in Major League Baseball’s 2003 survey testing, which the MLB Players Association agreed to allow to determine if it was necessary to impose stricter drug testing in baseball.

Baseball needs to move, this steroids issue is doing nothing but negatively affecting the game. It happened everyone knows it happened, move on.

ryanXL977 · 02-07-09, 12:16 PM

its good to know arod did it too
now we need to know about pujols
bc if he did it, then manny is far and away the best right handed hitter of the last 40 years, maybe ever

jjgold · 02-07-09, 12:21 PM

Waiting for the classic denial

It is coming

I already feel Manny was the best right handed hitter of the last 40 years. If it were for his antics, he would be getting more consideration as a top 10 offensive player ever.

ryanXL977 · 02-07-09, 12:23 PM

thats true

Mudcat · 02-07-09, 12:24 PM

You guys think Manny has been clean? Why on earth would you assume that?

Not as muscular as some of the other players.

Hotdiggity11 · 02-07-09, 12:26 PM

Guess now they need a new name for A-Rod since Payrod doesn't work anymore. Any suggestions?

ryanXL977 · 02-07-09, 12:27 PM

until manny tests positive, he is clean
and mannys power numbers have never been close to arods, just consistent
he's not a 50 hr guy

Mudcat · 02-07-09, 12:29 PM

That's just like all the guys who talked about how great it would be when A-Rod set the home run record so the record would be clean again.

Ugh!

I'd point out the many holes in that thinking but I would feel like I was telling kids there is no Santa Clause.

Sure, okay, if it makes you feel good, Manny is the one guy who was clean.

Agreed, the best right handed hitter I have ever seen.

It's a non-issue for me, couldn't give a rat's rump who was doing them while MLB dragged their feet on cleaning it up.

tullamore · 02-07-09, 12:40 PM

I no expect on steroids, but Manny's body had always been pretty much the same, he has never gone under a massive muscular change in short period of time.
