Alex Rodriguez linked to Steroids (2003 test)

[Dimmauk]

Was the substance that he tested for illegal for baseball players in 2003? I do think its funny that the results could have been destroyed by the Players Union. For some reason the Union that "protects" players will end up ruining some careers. I personally could care less about them doing steroids.

LOL @ these rookie cards

Dude I loved those old Pirate unis. Andy Van Slyke, Bobby Bonilla, Tony Pena etc...

Ah the memories.

I have nothing to worry about seeing as I am a DIE HARD Royals fans. I wish the glory days of the 80's would come back. I loved baseball much more then than I do now. Except when I lived in St Louis, Cards games out the ass baby!

I'd actually look for the Royals to be on the upswing this year. They have a decent amount of young pitchers and one of the best offensive CF in the game in DeJesus, assuming they don't trade him away

Laughing so hard at this. Also, wanted to share a excerpt from our paper since A-Rod has helped complete the Rangers "All-Juiced Team":

'A-Roid' completes Texas Rangers' All-Juiced team | Texas Rangers News | Sports News | News for Dallas, Texas | Dallas Morning News

TEXAS RANGERS' ALL-JUICED TEAM
Pos. | Player | Steroids link
CF | Gary Matthews Jr. | Mitchell Report
C | Pudge Rodriguez | Teammate allegation
SS | Alex Rodriguez | Media report
RF | Juan Gonzalez | Teammate allegation
1B | Rafael Palmeiro | Tested positive
3B | Ken Caminiti |Acknowledged
DH | Jose Canseco | Acknowledged
2B | Randy Velarde | Mitchell Report
LF | Chad Allen | Mitchell Report

Even funnier part about it...there's still no pitching on that roster.

[Mizango]

That's how we roll man I have been optimistic my entire life in regards to the Royals, whats one more season? We had a very nice core that we traded with Affeldt and May to go with Gobble, MacDougal, Greinke, Field and George. I was STOKED about that young pitching staff, then it imploded, much like my dreams for the Royals rising from the ashes....

[Okan]

This is why I hate pro sports. Didn't A.Rod just sign some 140mil contract or some crap? I'm sorry, but no human being NEEDS more than $10mil a life time.

[Mizango]

Bullshit. I NEED 100 Billion infused into my account asap.

How else can I live a tragic life and die in a blaze of drug induced glory!?

[MrW]

I lol'd when I read this. Even more reason to hate the Yankees. Go Mets! (Oh man I hope they don't pull a John Starks again this year.)

C'mon, did you forget about this guy? He needs more than 10 mil a year to survive.

"Nigga I got kids to feed."


Sad part is he is totally broke now lol. He got his Yacht and 5 cars repo'd about 2 years ago I believe and is/has lost his home.

[MrW]

; ; His own rim company and a starting job on the Knicks. Gone. How the mighty have fallen!!!

[Reality]

Alex just admitted to Gammons on ESPN, that he used steroids

So he doesnt go the Bonds/Clemens route, smart move

I wanna see the names of the other 103 players on that list, I hope they come out

[Cephius]

He's on already? I thought he was speaking later tonight.

[chazzyphizzle]

Yeah, there is really no reason that SI shouln't have released the 104(?) other names that tested positive on that report they found. Sure, Alex is the biggest fish, but don't make it such a glaringly obvious attempt to drag only A-Rod through the mud.

[Deejay]

Latrell Sprewell was and always will be my favoritist Knick of all time.

Houston is an extremely close second, and they were like polar opposites.

[Reality]

He's on already? I thought he was speaking later tonight.

apologizes for using
used it only when playing for rangers
he felt pressure to perform, show he was worth the money
he wont be specific to what he took, if he was injected by anyone, it was a loose culture
he was stupid, naive, has not used since 2003

from the interview

[Cephius]

I see, oh well. I'm so tired of steroids tainting baseball, hopefully they just release the other names and we can finally move on

[MrW]

Does it really matter anymore? It makes baseball more fun to watch in my opinion.

maybe to you, but to a lot of baseball purists (i consider myself one), i much prefer a cleaner game

homeruns are cool, but i'd rather every player be on equal grounds to perform, it's bogus that you have guys like Thomas, Griffey who have been advocates against using PED's for their entire careers, having to work that much harder to put up numbers comparable to what A-Rod and co. has been able to put up

since 2003, lol, my ass

[Headspace]

I swear to god, if there's any Reds players on this list of 103, I'm going to go nuts. Not because they cheated, but because they cheated and we never finish above .500.

[Reality]

watching this interview with arod, man
he does look like he regretted it, by looking at his facial expressions

i'm not so sure what to think right now

he looks like he's about to cry, seriously

edit: he took them from 2001 through 2003, according to the interview
