A-rod accused of steroid use

[GloBug]

u know whats really funny is that heas hitting 40-45homeruns while with the mariners and then he signs with texas then does roids to get an extra 7 homeruns per season. i bet he did it b4 that. him and griffey were shooting eachother up and sharing needles. what a bunch of heroin addicts. i still love em though.

To the baseball fans that don't have a problem with steroids, why do you like a game that is played by science and not natural talent. The whole point of the "Major League" was the best of the best based on talent, not willingness to shoot up with drugs. I grew up in a big time baseball town and all of the players were my idol's. I can remember players on my team trying to make plays they saw their favorite players make the night before. Now, I have no respect for most of the baseball players in the "Major Leagues." If you can't play a game clean, why play it at all? Is everyone in America that greedy? I don't know how you justify paying a person $27,000,000 to play a game that people would play for FREE. I understand that there is ALOT of work involved, but please!!

I wish MLB would post the remaining 103 names that tested positive for a banned substance in 2003. Let the world know who the cheaters are. I would love to see MLB test and publish the results of EVERY player in the game, major or minor league. I'm ashamed to say I'm a fan of baseball right now. The game is so tainted that it's almost not worth watching because you don't know who's clean and who shoots up.

i understand what u are saying but it was the STEROID ERA so by u not having repsect for them then so be it. honestly the only people steriods helped were the ones that werent hittin for power. and yes chipper jones was on roids and so was andrew jones. i think steroids were mainly used for the fast recovery time. i mean if u play 162 games a year with back to back games and traveling its gotta take its toll on the human body. u know if u are a fan u should always be a fan. y be ashamed it wasnt u. i hate people that say they are ashamed. u are the driving force for the media. this will never die. they are human get over it. and yes that means u.

There were players messing with roids in the 60s and 70s, Nobody would be able to know who has been on them and who hasnt. However, they didnt make the kind of money back then as they do now, so it wasnt as common place as it was lately. A-rod took the roids for 3 years, won most valuable player, Cashed in big with the Yankees, and weened off them... I would think poker players would respect this. When he did them there was no punishment for doing so. They were banned but no consequences... The investment of 3 years on roids, carefully controlled under the supervison of a doctor inorder to get a huge long term contract with the yankees?... good investment I think. I would have done the same.

[GloBug]

i dont know if he did it for the contract from yanks because he is only making 25 million more than the one he signed with the rangers. yeah he added years to it by voiding his old contract but its still the same. baseball is still a great sport. i love it. if not the yankees someone else would have signed him. he was getting the money regardless.

[ScareCrowAKA]

I wasnt try to say he took them just to get a deal with the yankees. I was only saying he took them to get a better deal. The deal with the yankees was big. More money, endorsements/get to live in new york, long term security, No-trade, all that stuff. He got the deal because of how he was playing on the roids. I still think it was a good investment..... Also I kind of respect A-rod for playing for the US in the world baseball classic instead of mexico. That impressed me. Even though he does come off somewhat as a jackass and I understand why people don't like him. Playing for the yankees dont help that.
