Here we go again! Today, February 7, 2009, Sports Illustrated is out with a report saying that Alex Rodriguez tested positive for the steroid Primobolan and Testosterone while playing Major League Baseball with the Texas Rangers back in 2003.
Now, this is just a report, nothing has been proven as of yet but four different sources told SI this allegation.
Key Points:
- Rodriguez tested positive for Primobolan and testosterone while with the Rangers
- Under the 2003 survey testing, there were no penalties for a positive test
- Rodriguez was one of 104 players who tested positive that year
- On TV interviews, Alex Rodriguez has denied multiple times ever using Steroids
- 5% of Major League players tested positive that year - this sparked MLB to start issuing mandatory steroid drug tests.
-Rodriguez won his third straight mvp title in 2003
What is Stedroid Primobolan?
Primobolan is an anabolic steroid that can be orally taken or injected. It seems to be a very weak steroid but improves strength and really helps you gain muscle mass.
Final Thought - If these allegations are true, it would give Major League Baseball yet another black eye. I've watched countless interviews in which Alex Rodriguez denies using steroids, especially the 60 minute interview. Major League baseball is just very historic and it's image gets tarnished more and more as players are exposed. This one is a shocker to me! Alex Rodriguez is a great player and he doesn't even look like someone who has taken steroids. I always enjoy watching him play and i'm not even a Yankees fan. I have been a Phillies fan all my life.
