• Alex Rodriguez linked to steroids in Sports Illustrated report

According to a report on SI.com for different sources claim that Alex Rodriguez tested positive for anabolic steroids in 2003. Rodriguez was a member of the Texas Rangers at the time, an organization that also employed supposed steroid users Rafael Palmiero and Juan Gonzalez.

A Sports Illustrated reporter caught up to Alex Rodriguez on Thursday to get his thoughts on the recent allegations:

When approached by an SI reporter on Thursday at a gym in Miami, Rodriguez declined to discuss his 2003 test results. “You’ll have to talk to the union,” said Rodriguez, the Yankees’ third baseman since his trade to New York in February 2004. When asked if there was an explanation for his positive test, he said, “I’m not saying anything.”

A-Rod never has much to say so those comments don’t come as a surprise. What sucks for Alex is that there were 103 other names on the list that tested positive for steroids in 2003, but so far the only name we’re hearing is Alex Rodriguez’.

The A-Fraud nickname is gonna get plenty of mileage now that Alex is looking and sounding like a liar. You might remember Alex Rodriguez sat down with Katie Couric for an interview and denied any involvement with steroids or performance enhancing drugs.

Of course, Jose Canseco was telling a different story.

As much of a scumbag as he is, and all-around terrible boxer, Jose Canseco has been one of the most reliable sources of the Steroid Era.
