ChadLover Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Might as well get this started up, this is going be a zoo tomorrow. There is nothing Alex can do or say that will please anyone so regardless of what happens it is goling to be a disaster. I almost feel sorry for him.

faba Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 It is going to be a circus with him all year long-wherever the Yanks play- he brought it on himself though and that is the scrutiny you will get when you have 250 million contract.

Guido Monzino Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 At this point, I don't even give a crap anymore. I've never been an ARod fan anyway. This isn't shocking news. An entire era of baseball is tainted. I get it. Can we move on and get back to the game now? I really hate that the media is now doing to sports what it has done to every other aspect of life.

Vicious89x Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 This is going to be ridiculous. Since the media has gotten so global, writers and "journalists" have tried to make this business all about making the biggest stink you can. More focus on me. Let me say the most controversial thing. Let me hate on the popular franchises. No matter what anyone says or does in the media against the Yankees I will forever be a Yankee fan, I will forever bleed pinstripes. Any media member or other fans of rival teams that hate on us can suck on it IMO. Love the game, dont' love hating on a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadLover Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 If I was Alex and I was clean and wanted to prove to people that I don't need PEDs to be the best I would announce that starting today I will submit weekly blood tests that can be saved forever. This way no one can say he is on HGH or some other indetectable drug because eventually they will be able to test for it. From a privacy standpoint, it is a little scary. 20 years from now we may hear that someone has cloned ARod using his stored blood samples but if his reputation is that important and he wants to get in the HOF this would go a long way.

neckdemon Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 another half-truth admission if you ask me. but fu*k it...at least he admitted it and apologized, unlike clemens and bonds. i'll still consider him a cheater from now on, but at least he didn't take the route that ass-clown clemens took.

Morrissey Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 So he admitted he injected steroids (I forget the specific steroids he mentioned) he got from his cousin in the Dominican. Okay lets play baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otter Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I found his story hard to believe. Why would he be injecting himself with this stuff twice a month for three years and have no idea of its effects? He should have just come out and said "Yes, I took steroids for three years, everyone was doing it, I thought it would help me play better." Instead he just created more questions that the media will obsess over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nnamath Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 let me get this straight.....over nine days since the Peter Gammons interview your story is an unnamed cousin suggested you take primobolan or bole for an energy boostand twice amonth for three years you had him inject you with something that you don't think gave you much benefit, you weren't sure you were using correctly, and didn't research what did to your body? hmmmm. oh and Selena Roberts isn't a crazy beeyotch stalker? ok... just to let you know...primobolan isn't just an energy booster, it's a building block steroid that you use in conjunction with testosterone and other steroids. In other words, you weren't just using bole, dude...so, you're lying. oh and one other thing...you were 24, 25 and 26 when you took this stuff. Your "i was young and stupid" excuse doesn't work. You were a grown up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicious89x Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'm 26, I've started working out a lot and really focusing on losing weight and building muscle. Long story short, I've invested and take supplements. A-Rod is notorious for being a health "freak" that he doesn't eat anything bad. I'm like that now. And when you're like that you know EXACTLY what you're putting in your body. For example I'm taking ZMA supplements in pill form, it's a concentrated form of Zinc, magnesium and B-6 Vitamins. I take Whey Protein, I take a Essential fatty acid 3-6-9 pill which is a combo of fish, sunflower and nut fats. My point is... I know what's going in my body. When you're obsessed with this you damn well know. Although I will say this much. As of right now I dont' know if it's helping me or not. I am losing weight and building muscle... but is that a result of my hardwork? I'm not sure. But I haven't dont' it for 3 years, nor have I been off it for 3 years. I understand being "ignorant" in the sense of being young and thinking you're invincible. The way A-Rod is making it sound is he was legally retarded but could still swing the hell out of a bat up until 2004. I'll still cheer him and hope he can put this behind him and produce on the field cause the way he's addressed this will haunt him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were a grown up. Friend of mine had a brother-in-law played junior hockey in Canada in the 1980s and 1990s with several guys who eventually made the NHL(could name names, and if you know hockey, you'd know who they were; several were even allstars). There was no drug testing. Was pretty much an open secret that Canadian athletes took trips to Latin America to stock up on roids over the counter. It was cheap and easy. This is no different. If you want to live on the fantasy island where all the athletes are wonderful, clean-living and PED-free, take up checkers. Get the impression unless A-rod shoots up on stage or provides an old video of such or drops a shopping bag of empty vials ans syringes on the podium,the media will still hound him. Move the eff on already. Again, when Selena Roberts, Mitch Albom and Mike Lupica their ilk are going to be the arbiters of right and wrong, we're are extra cripsy effed. That bothers me a whole bunch more than pro athletes trying to get and edge with PEDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaded Green Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Why would you inject something for 3 years if you did not know what effects it was giving you? If I buy a cold medicine and I don't feel the effects in 24-48 hours I thorw it in the garbage and stop buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonds and Clemens flat out denied they took steroids. They even lied about it under oath. A-Rod admitted taking steroids, and has taken responsibility. He also told us how he took it (injected it) when he took it (3 years in Texas), why he stopped (neck injury, and because drug testing was put in place), where he got it from (Dominican Republic), and who he got it from (His cousin). You don't have to believe him, but he gave us something. The other 2 just denied taking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, you're right here You don't have to believe him, but he gave us something. The other 2 just denied taking it. The difference between A-Rod and those two scumbags is the fact is there is a test with his name on it that he failed. What makes you so certain he'd deny. Look no further then 60 minutes. To me this is a damn shame TD, a damn shame. I'm not an A-Rod hater, this is sad to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
