It has been announced that in 2003 Alex Rodriguez aka A-Rod (or A-Fraud now) tested positive for two different types of steroids.  That was the same year he received the AL MVP award in Texas.  He also refuses to comment on anything regarding these tests.  There was 104 players whose urine samples tested positive in this 2003 testing but A-Rod’s drug of choice was ‘Primobolan’.

Primobolan, which is also known by the chemical name methenolone, is an injected or orally administered drug that is more expensive than most steroids. (A 12-week cycle can cost $500.) It improves strength and maintains lean muscle with minimal bulk development, according to steroid experts, and has relatively few side effects.

A man by the name of Gene Orza has also been said to have tipped off A-Rod of upcoming tests so he could at least be clean for the ones that carried a penalty.  This just shows that there are alot of ‘god-like’ players who aren’t playing by the same rules as everybody else.  I for one am glad these players will be phased out because it gives those players who do follow the rules/laws a chance to live their dream.  Who is to say there isn’t somebody that could have been better than A-Rod without steroids but was well behind him when he did use.  People need some serious work on their morals and ethics because that is a joke.
