A-Rod tested positive for steroids in 2003...
A-Rod admits, regrets use of PEDs
For those doubters, this buds for you. The Rod man has spoken, came up and faced the firing squad and finally lifted this big monkey off his back. Best thing he did was to come out and say the truth, but his legacy is tarnished and those numbers are to a extent artificial. Lets get those other 104 names out.

Well, I agree, but it all started with the witchhunt for Barry Bonds. What a can of worms it opened up. I hope they got what they wanted. Amazingly, in all of this, notice the silence of the players' union and Selig, all of whom were complicit in the steroid era. LOL!!!
I actually agree with Curt Schilling on this. Now name the other 104 players who tested positive. The other big names will shock people, but they shouldn't.
This story won't go away as long as ESPN is bored.

Cheating is what the player syndicates is doing to all of you the fans. It is a shame and an insult to the fans that they are not making public the whole list. They are corrupt too big time.
Yes, but even in his admittance he still comes off like an jackass. He doped for three years yet he says he didn't know what he was taking?
Why can't he just answer the damn questions and end the speculation?

ARoid finally gets a hit under pressure!
And Bond's and Clemens may go to jail for lying. ARoid really did the right thing by coming clean, so did McGwire, although by just dodging it.
ARoids interview today was pathetic, but I have to give him credit for taking the bullet. He can move on, but I imagine the fans are going to crush him for a bit of time, but what else is new?
What could the union or Selig say that's going to have any substance? They're all lawyers. We'll eventually get a vanilla statement smothered in emptiness wrapped in nothing sticky.
I'd rather ESPN coverd the parties with Lima and Jones, I want to see that bracelet, and definitely an "Outside the Lines" with the hookers is a must see. Is there an ESPN 3? There should be. Ballers, Hookers, 8Balls and La Pela!
Great point.

all the perjury cases are just window-dressing for the media and some fans. not many people go to jail for perjury and if so, jail time is minimal.
let's see: millions of dollars spent on these trials/cases.
6 months in jail, priceless...:ermm:
baseball hall of fame: who cares ?

I heard the funniest comment about this whole charade-someone said A-Rod should be taking a steroid that allows him to get a hit past the 7th inning.:cheeky:
I'm afraid that one does not exist.:ermm::ermm::ermm:
Funny how there seems to be a disconnect between the sportscasters and reporters and the players and fans.
The players don't seem to care, the fans don't care-but its' the reporters who talk sanctimoniously about "the integrity of the game" and how the Hall of Fame will shun these players from the so-called steroid era.
Well, you think the old time ball players would of held their records if Major League Baseball was integrated?
Josh Gibson would of kicked Babe Ruth's ass in every statistical category had they competed head to head, so please, ESPN...spare me the self-righteous indignation...

These people hate A-Rod, regardless of what he does. They are members of the sporting lunatic fringe that bark loudly yet realistically are small in number.
The people that rant on those sites are marginal characters who lead frustrated, unhappy lives.
The proof will lie in the attendance numbers for Yankee Stadium when the season starts.
And if the Yankees are in first place by the All-Star break, no one will be talking about this nonsense.
If you live in NYC you would know what I mean. Talk radio here is dominated by idiots who feel it is their duty to yell over the next guy, facts be damned.
This is just the latest controversy that will subside and will mean absolutely nothing in a few months' time.
Un-silent Minority
The "integrity of the game" was lost when the billion dollar TV packages came about. It's all about money, from the very top (the billionare owners of the teams and the cable/networks) to the very bottom (millionaire players, managers and ad executives). It's all about entertainment, the game itself is a sidelight, perhaps with exceptions to a handful of ballplayers, and even that is debatable.
All that hot air from the 'journalists' is just fuel to stir everyone's deeper emotions. Honestly, does it really mean anything to the every-day fan if Bonds or McGwire are in the HOF? ESPN has become an HD version of People magazine or Entertainment Tonight.
The only one really bothered by all of this is Brett Favre, I'm certain he and ESPN had it in their calendars to have us teetering on the edge of our seats this week - with whether he was going to re-un-retire to lead the Jets to another disappointing season.
Of course we'd have to live with 4 or 5 days of 'he said, she said', anonymous sources, a 1-hour "Outside the Lines" special on his HOF validity, and 279 Vigra commercials to get the answer.
Thanks ARoid. Play ball!
I'd agree with Berzin on this, that sample size is almost completely made up of the Puffy (enter team name) Jackets-flag wavers.

David Ortiz and manager Ozzie Guill?n call for up to a year suspension of those testing positive for roids.
