I am willing to bet that at least half the baseball players out there have also used PEDs. We single out A-Rod because he was a 3 time MVP and considered the best player in baseball at least for a time. There are guys in the minors who doped away and may not have made the major leagues but we don’t have as much outrage since we feel that all of A-Rod’s success is due to drugs.

The way I see it, they nearly all used and if they didn’t, then they were dumb.

If I could take PEDs and earn $20M/year as an engineer, I would in a second and then retire in 5 or 10 years and stop taking the stuff. … and you all would too unless you are some kind of monks or nuns. Let’s stop being so holier than thou. The only reason for an athlete to not take PEDs is because they are worried about getting caught.

The guys in the Olympics got busted for using CERA which is a time release form of EPO to increase red blood cell count and endurance. Why did they take it? Because at the time, there was no test and they thought they couldn’t get caught. Same for Ben Johnson a few years back.

If taking steroids gave Arod bitch tits, then Phil Mickelson must be shooting up like crazy.

keeping hoping. two more weeks until the book release, and he should return to the field just before.

I hope this story dies relatively quickly.

If he did tip pitches, how does his own team not realize this and not beat the crap out of him for doing it?

maybe A-Rod shunned her for an interview and gave it to Lupica instead.

Is it just me, or does it seem that Selena Roberts has an ax to grind with A-Rod?

the tipping pitchers thing is interesting, but i can careless about how he is at Hooters, who he is dating, and what color mascara he is wearing. a ton of athletes/celebrities are shitty tippers.

This book was written merely to make money for Selena Roberts. Who knows what liberties were taken.

It’s just a novel form of the National Enquirer.

I’ve moved on from the A-Roid stories. I’m more excited to read about the other stuff, like when he was tipping pitches to hitters on the opposing teams and how he was hated at Hooters, because he was such a cheap tipper.

…and signed what was considered to be a very lucrative contract for an 18-year old.

made a couple of bucks since then too.
