Were they testing for roids in '03? If not, then the only reason to fault the guy is if he said he never used them.

The only thing that surprises me is that there haven't been more positive tests
from other players.

I always kind of figured there was something going on with that guy, so it doesn't really suprise me. Even to this day there's still something off about him, anybody else notice that he's got insanly blood shot eyes during alot of games?

Looks like he has admitted it... He says it was because of all the pressure to produce...

What else could he do? Denial didn't help Palmiero, McGuire, Clemens, et al -

He'll be suited up and playing this spring.

with the number of years that A-rod still has in the big leagues, this will likely all blow over and he will get intothe HOF first ballot- provided that he stays clean.

Anyone doubt the sincerity of the admission and apology??? It seems to me that the answers...at least the clips I saw...were pretty well scripted. I find it hard to believe that he only used the juice for a few years. I could be wrong...but...I don't think so. After all...he's on tape denying that he ever used steroids. Once a liar...always a liar???

Im watching his "Apology" on TV now. He says he "Doesn't know what substance he is guilty of using."

The title on the news was "A-Rod comes clean." I thought he was finally going to admit he is gay...
