Arod admits to Steroid Use in 2003

[Chrispy]

Do you really think he only took steroids for those three years. He never got caught so why would he want to stop taking them. The only reason why he probably said 2001-2003 is because 2003 was when he tested positive so why would he come out and say I took steroids as a yankee. Cause I am pretty sure there is more pressure playing in NY then playing in Texas where he had the "weight of the world on him". But hey at least he is not going to face criminal charges like Bonds and Clemens.

Yeah least he didnt take that route and deny it. But who knows if he did, he said he was tested 8-10 times after 2003 and we dont know the results. I just want to see the other 104 people on that list.

Those 104 names are probably gonna be a bunch of minor leaguers like the mitchell report was. Everyone thought that the mitchell report was going to name like 50 big league players when really there were a lot of nobodies in it. Sure there were a few big league players but not as many as people expected.

even if you take steroids or HGH or w/e, you still have to be a phenominal athlete, the steroids doesn't just make it so that you magically hit a home run every time or throw 112 MPH, so i still think A-Rod is one of the best of all time. he just fucked it up.

Steroids add muscle mass which adds power. Steriods are for pussies who cant gain the muscle by themselves.

[Yawkey Way]

you can have all teh muscle you want, if you can't catch up to the ball and have the hand eye coordination to read the pitch, react, and know what kind of swing to put on the ball, your nothing. Why do you think the world strongest men didn't get into baseball when it was infested with HGH. Just because your strong doesn't mean you have the coordination to hit the ball as well as AROD did.

[celtsxpatsxsox]

Did I say anything about coordination...no. I am talking strictly adding muscle to your body a bitch way. Why do you think when someone brings up steroids they talk about homeruns? Its because the more power you have the more homeruns you have. Look at Adam Dunn. I probably can make better contact then him but I cant hit the ball 500 feet.

[Yawkey Way]

yeah and i agree with you, thats proven. But what i'm saying is the steroids can only help you so much. You still need to get the bat on the ball.

[kmanharris]

i don't buy when he says he didn't know what he's taking. But he was also hitting in arlington, which is a premier hitters ballpark.

anyone who takes steroids says that. You work your body to make it perfect whether it be dieting, exercising etc so you know what you put in. As I said before he has tested clean numerous times since there was a mandatory penalty and he is still one of the, if not THE, best hitter in baseball. The numbers he put up 2 years ago were just insane

[Yawkey Way]

can't wait til i go to a sox yankees game this year. He's going to get shit on.

[kmanharris]

So apprently there was a second page that I didn't know about.. anyway... Yes steroids and HGH add muscle but he has been tested since 2003 and tested clean (if it was dirty they would have made a HUGE deal out of it like they are now). Do you see how he still crushes the ball? In 2007 he hit 54 homeruns, WHEN HE WAS CLEAN.

until he hits a game winner off of pap

So why would he need to take roids in the first place. And how do you know that he wasnt on them. There are many substances that are undetectable in the MLB drug tests like HGH.

[celtsxpatsxsox]

BTW I am not just saying all this stuff cause hes a yankee player. Cause if you have read any of the other threads regarding steroids in sports then you know I dont respect anyone who takes them.

[corbin]

A-rod is still the best player of our generation without steroids. I am glad he admitted that he did it and didn't try to deny it. If he came out with a lame excuse like "Oh a trainer mashed up shit in my drink" I would have been even more annoyed. Now I am only slightly annoyed. I must say though, the amount of coverage its getting from espn is giving me a giant headache.

[IamMedellin]

I love NY

I finally saw the interview...

Is there a bigger phony in sports than this guy?

[IamMedellin]

heh heh heh...
