Homeruns are hard to score. Sometimes a guy just needs a little juice. That was the mantra Alex Rodiriguez was apparently living by when he tested positive for steroids back in 2003.
Sports Illustrated has broken the story that Rodriguez tested positive for steroids back in 2003 when he won the American League home run title and was MVP when he was shortstop for the Texas Rangers. Reportedly, Rodriguez's name is among the 104 players who tested positive for steroids and when Rodriguez was confronted by an SI reporter, he declined to comment.
The MLBPA issued a statement on Saturday, saying "Information and documents relating to the results of the 2003 MLB testing program are both confidential and under seal by court orders. We are prohibited from confirming or denying any allegation about the test results of any particular player by the collective bargaining agreement and by court orders. Anyone with knowledge of such documents who discloses their contents may be in violation of those court orders."
On top of his giant salary, Rodriguez apparently received "bonuses" each time he tied one of the four baseball legends at the top of the homerun list. Ahh - steroids, they're so lucrative!
