I'd rather have him have the All-time HR record than Barroid.
like this is a surprise? 90% of MLB star power hitters have juiced at one point or another ... its just a matter of time before all of the big name hitters get exposed. Pujols should be next ....
Aroid. Has a nice ring to it.
This is a surprise to anyone? Aroid's head has gotten almost as big as Barroid's. His mind has gone into a steroid mush evidenced by him banging Madonna's old ugly ass. This was pretty obvious.
sons its to the point where anyone who hits more than 30 home runs in a season is questionable.
Not CHIPPER JONES!
Considering A-Rod hit 50 plus HR's just 2 years ago, with the Yanks, having taken all the tests and passed, i seriously question this. This happened 6 years ago and we are just hearing about it now. I don't know about, this one.. Most of these sluggers that took steroids, one off them totally fell apart. A-Rod is the same player today he was 7 or 8 years ago.. Of course though everyone will throw him under the bus, since he has so many haters..
You dont think that the league would try to protect one of their best players?
I just think there is a lot we don't know here, i mean this is right out of the article..
"Information and do ents relating to the results of the 2003 MLB testing program are both confidential and under seal by court orders. We are prohibited from confirming or denying any allegation about the test results of any particular player[s] by the collective bargaining agreement and by court orders. Anyone with knowledge of such do ents who discloses their contents may be in violation of those court orders."
So who ratted A-Rod out here and how do we know for sure it is the truth?? I just heard a radio interview, from a player who was part of that testing process and he said "He was assured it was 100% anonymous and was never told, was his result was" So i don't know for sure what to make of this.. Someone said something but it is awful hard for A-Rod to defend something that happened 6 years ago..
I see what your saying. This is something I hate about baseball. If you fail a drug test, your name should be thrown out to the public.
So do you think the same thing about Barry Bonds?? Since he is being killed for the same stuff and the same time?
I think it is clear Bonds took roids and it elevated him from being a great player to a legendary one. A-Rod, well if he took them he didn't need them. A-Rod has passed every steroid test he has taken since 2004 and he has won 2 MVP's with the Yanks. Hit 54 HR's 2 seasons ago.. Some of these guys fell to pieces after they stopped taking them. A-Rod is the same player.. So i don't know 100% what to make of this, i want more info.
Neither Bonds or Arod needed to take the roids. Bonds, Clemons and ARoid have all taken the juice. I am also willing to bet that Pujols and other great players have also taken part of the juicing. That is why I find hard to believe that Bonds will not make it into the HOF.
Well Mcgwire appears to be never getting in the Hall. His congress testimony, just destroyed him. But if A-Rod wins another couple MVP's while continuing to pass drug tests, how do you justify keepinig the man out of the Hall??
Is Jr. the only clean home run hitter in baseball?
He has already tested positive for Roids. I personally think he should but no matter what he does he will never get a break from the media or most fans. You will have fans just like Barry Bonds has that no matter what kind of numbers that he puts up will never be accepted.
No reason to assume that he is completely clean.
Who ratted him out is irrelevant. That's between A-Rod, the players union, MLB and (potentially) a court of law.
As fans, all that should matter is whether or not he did them. Evidence obtained illegally or unethically may be thrown out of a trial. But it is completely admissible in the court of public opinion.
A-Fraud it is...
I love how ESPN reports on someone else's report, and somehow it's a fact now.
Like Jon Lovitz once said playing a reporter on SNL: "When you add two half-truths, you get the whole truth."
Every media outlet does that. Pretty pathetic.
What reason would ESPN have for reporting this? Their entire cash base is from sports. If A-Rod's legacy is torpedoed from this, it's going to hit baseball extremely hard. He is the chosen one, and even I had hopes that he would cleanly break Bonds' record. Baseball might be immune to this stuff now that attendance is skyrocketing, but if it's not, this will do a great deal of harm to the game.
I think it's arguable that even if it doesn't hurt ticket sales as much, it's still another blight on a sport that is full of questionable and tragic superstars.
Here's a clue, people:
Ordinary human beings do not develop giant swollen heads with protruding, Neanderthal-like brow ridges when they reach their thirties. Nor do they develop huge spongy hands. There are two things that cause that to happen: 1) a pituitary tumor that causes the body to produce too much human growth hormone, or 2) illicitly taking human growth hormone as a performance-enhancing drug.
