Report: A-Rod may have used steroids in high school

an AAA-BOMB from AAA-ROD.. theeeeeee yankees loose theeeee yankees loose!!!!!!!

Mr Henry Aaron is and always will be the HR king.

If he admitted he took steroids once, it probably wasn't the only time. "I tried it but didn't inhale" ...right

Does this really shock anyone? He's a cheat. Simple as that. Let him stay w/ Yanks and never win anything.

He's a loser and will always be. I don't care how many hotties or dollars he has....deep inside he's a loser and a cheat.

Why do we care about an overpaid, arrogant athlete?

Who cares. I think many many players juiced. But it's a tired subject.

Another clue is the 44B bra hanging in his locker

And think we were upset when we didn't aquire him in a trade......Sure looks like he's a fraud.....Let NY media chew him up.......I think it'll be a long time before we have a true star for our kids to look up to

I love how we are supposed to believe Selena Roberts when every quote she gave in the story clipped here is "An un-named Major Leaguer", "Anonymous Yankees",. Yeah, that's really convincing believing what those unnamed sources are saying. Maybe A-rod has taken steroids and HGH his whole career, maybe not. But this book is not going to push my opinion toward yes. Rubbish the way she handled her sports illustrated story, and rubbish the way she is writing this book. I will most likely rent it from the library so as to not give her money just to see what other great sources she has to comment on.

The Yankees lose. Theeeeeeeeeeeee Yankees lose!!!!

TRIED OR NOT HE STILL GOT PAID SO THERE

Mr. HENRY AARON IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE LEGIT HOME-RUN KING.....

No surprise! Anyone who has to slap Bronson Arroyo to get on base is just a sad, sad all around loser. Just more money flushed down the Bronx Loo!

heh, heh, heh...this knucklehead needs to get out of NY. Go play for KC or Cleveland...anywhere but NY. Hank, let him go, he's bad news. Good news for Sox fans! What a loser.

Is Selena Roberts now working for The National Enquirer? When I see her hard hitting reporting using words like "may have" and "is suspected of" I have to think what is she writing about? Hearsay, rumor, insinuation? This is the same reporter who railed against the Duke lacrosse Team without reporting all the facts but giving her opinion of the "group of privileged players of fine pedigree entangled in a night that threatens to belie their social standing as human beings". I didn't read her follow up piece on the woman who accused these students or her follow up on the professors who voted to get the students thrown out befoe the facts were known. Selena need to start writing about the facts again.

Anyone recall that article in the Globe about A-Rod when the Sox were looking to sign him a few years back? He toured Harvard, expressed his longing for knowledge, frustration with the narrow worldview provided by a life in baseball, excitement about playing so close to a crimson vat of finer things? He's special.

I agree with theonlyrepublicaninMA! Hank is the HR King!

WHEN ARE PEOPLE,, GOING TOO GET OFF THE BAN WAGON,,,ALMOST ALL HIGH SCHOOLS DON'T BAN STERIODS,,OR TEST FOR THEM.. FOR TWENTY YEARS,,KIDS OF ALL AGES,,SOMEWHERE,,HAVE USED THEM IN EVERY SPORT,,,JUST LIKE ENERGY DRINKS ARE BEING CONSUMMED BY 10 YEAR AND 11 YEAR OLD KIDS,, NOW A DAYS ,BECAUSE THERE IS NO REGULATION OR AGE LIMIT FOR USE. STAND BY FOR ANOTHER HOOKED,, BURNED , OUT GENERATION TOO FOLLOW. CIAO ROCK

His new nickname..."A-CUP"

A-CUP!! A-CUP!! A-CUP!!

So what was the nickname? Moobs? Come on, that's the most important detail of the story! We need to know what to chant when he comes to the plate!

"Dr. says A-Rod ahead of schedule"...must be the juice!

Under this kind of scrunity, A-Rod might not never be the player he once was. Considering the contract that he has and the current economic state, the New York Yankees might really struggle with an aging play club and so much money tied up in A-Rod.

I'd like to know who these anonymous sources are. A-rod, not to mention me, has a right to know who is making these charges. In America we have a right to face our accuser; otherwise, it becomes something like the Salem Witch Trials. When a well-respected paper, like the Globe, can second these charges, then we will have something to talk about.

Dora is a fraud. The Yanks deserve him.

He's a maggot!

Hey db3164, instead of AAA-BOMB how about A-Hole?

There was something about this guy I just never liked. Maybe he was too groomed, too slick? I don't know, but I do know he's a prima dona and his drug use has temporarily killed the wonderful game of baseball.

He should be kicked out and all records and stats going back to 1995 should be thrown out. And sorry Boston, that means the World Series needs to be tossed out too.

Baseball is a multi-billion dollar industry. The owners, players and media get filthy rich off of it. If the players aren't happy, they go on STRIKE for MORE money. Steroid use makes the game more exciting and by making the game more exciting, fans, media sponsors and product marketers pay even more for tickets, air time and product endorsements. Through all of this, TAXPAYERS foot the bill for grand, new stadiums and see NOTHING for it. That, my friends, is the sad truth. A-Rod takes steroids and he and EVERYONE around him rakes in the dough. Don't blame the players, blame law enforcement - drug use is ILLEGAL.

A-CUP!

Is this shocking to anyone? All professional sports are tainted with steroids, HGH etc. this starts in High School and just gets more and more common in pro sports. Your eyes don't lie look at old films and videos of all 4 major sports. Football is th 500 pound elephant in the room, followed by baseball, basketball and Hocky. If you are not "Juicing" you are in the minority.

His teammates probably dubbed him "A-Broad"

Yes, Henry Aaron was probably only take greenies(speed) during actual games, unlike Arod, who admits using steroids to allow him to work out more often to prepare for games. Cheating is part of baseball, get used to it.

I hate the Yankees but who cares?

He's a multi-millionaire and I'm broke. Good for him. He's smarter than all of us.

Dont kno why everyone is just looking at A-Rod. I would say there were atleast 15 kids on my highschool football team, few kids on the baseball team...and now in college kids on the baseball team are known to be on stuff.

Look at the guys in the NFL draft, some of them are MONSTERs everyone needs to stop worrying just about A-Rod...LOOK AROUND YOU and open your eyes people dont get that big without help!!

Until we see the entire list of players that "Used" or tested positive this is a non story.

A-Cup...I love it.

But I must agree with Rob's post, above:
I love how we are supposed to believe Selena Roberts when every quote she gave in the story clipped here is "An un-named Major Leaguer", "Anonymous Yankees",. Yeah, that's really convincing believing what those unnamed sources are saying. Maybe A-rod has taken steroids and HGH his whole career, maybe not. But this book is not going to push my opinion toward yes.

A-Rat is an inspiration to Little Leaguers like...Danny Almonte. Just cheat; get your money/contract- that's all that counts. How do you think former high school and college players who played against "The Rat" feel reading this.

Mike Greenwell made a great point when asked about steroids when he addressed the issue of opposing (CLEAN) players who didn't get the accolades (e.g. rewards; monies) on account of people like Rodriguez who felt the need to cheat in order to compete.

People like Rodriguez ought to forfeit every penny (and trophy) they absconded and be banned from the league. How can anyone say players like this are good for the game and allow them to keep motoring their stupidity through their mouths?

Who cares what he did in high school? Steroids were not illegal. So while it may have been ill-advised, it was certainly not illegal or against any rules.
He has not been caught using steroids and I imagine his use of HGH is comparable to the majority of major leaguers.
He's an incredibly gifted athlete who made the move seamlessly from shortstop to third base when he came to the Yankees. And he works very hard at his craft. For those things, he deserves praise.
He has underperformed in the clutch and seems to undermine the team dynamics in the locker room. He says dumb things and has brought dishonor to his team through his too-public infidelity. For those things, he is worthy of criticism.

All athletes use. Grow up and accept it America.

A-Rod proves an old maxim: Sometimes the best deals are the ones that never get made.

for those of you wondering what the nickname was it was two words; first starts with a B and is another name for a female dog and the other starts with a T

Some people (most of the ones that have written on this post) really like to go after people like A-Rod. Here is a quote on how Roberts handled the Duke lacrosse situation.
“Roberts wrote commentary seething with hatred for ‘a group of privileged players of fine pedigree entangled in a night that threatens to belie their social standing as human beings.’ All but presuming guilt, Roberts parroted false prosecution claims that all team members had observed a ‘code of silence.’ She likened them to ‘drug dealers and gang members engaged in an anti-snitch campaign.’”
Remember, she never had any facts then either.
Maybe she should donate all of the proceeds of her upcoming book to charity.
Who is the slimeball here??? A-Rod or make it up as you go Roberts????

D'uh .... Our 'onorble prez did too ... WTF?

Steriods have been around forever. That little pink pill in football started it off I believe. The Steriod problem is far greater in Football and the NFL than baseball. We always here about baseball drug use. Give be a break, look at these football players now a days... Steriods were being used alot in my JR and High school in the 80's by many jocks and football players used them, it was a big deal!.

It's all George Bush's fault....

who cares & this is not shocking - get a life

I like how some of you are jumping on the Hank Aaron Band wagon. Just some info steroids have been around since the 1950's. Could be very plausible that the one you call the "H.R. King" could have done the very same thing. Wouldn't that be a shock to your system. Don't bang your drum so hard. I don't think anyone here
was with Hank 365 24 7. I prefer guys like Jimmie Foxx, Babe Ruth, Ted Williams etc... .

PLAYERS WILL DO ANYTHING TO DO BETTER. WHERE WAS THE BASEBALL COMMISSION TO CHECK THE PLAYERS FOR THE USE OF STERIODS?
SHAME ON THE COMMISSION FOR NOT CHECKING PLAYERS FOR USE OF SUBSTANCES.

A-Broad

b1tch-t1ts rodriguez, lol

All roid users are fat lazy jokes. They should be banned for life.

I heard that he used hgh in t-ball and then steroids in Little League too!

to all reporters: anonymous ? may have? wtf? never let the facts get in the way of a good smear campaign. idiot jouralists

To answer the question posed by Jeff Bezos: Jeff, there are several reasons, here are two: 1.) Because sports are fun. Watching sports, talking about sports, and reading about sports is a fun way to break away from the reality of life. You should try it, it sounds like you need to relax. 2.) Because, weather or not you want to admit it, athletes are role models for children. They look at A-Hole and say: "he cheats and he is rich and famous, why shouldn't I?" Don't kid yourself, most children can be that shallow regardless of their upbringing and athletes need to be more accountable for their actions. Jeff, get a life, you wannbe intellectual...

hubman.......
let me add to your comment. Not only is it the 44B bra he wears, but the giggleberries are probably about the size as marbles right about now.

all u ppl are stupid if u dont think there are tons of big name players on roids every kid on my high school's team used something.steroids have been around fo a while. dont be surprised when other players get caught.

Man, it gets hard to read these blogs when y'all talk about how you wouldn't have done some of the things ARod is accused of doing. Pleeeaase!! He made some really bad decisions and he's going to pay for them in the end. But, Stop saying you would have never done what he did. Lets put your life on public display and see if your as squeaky clean as you think you are. Your sins may not be as great or deceiving as ARod but we all have skeletons in the closet. His are on public display......and I am a Red Sox fan.

If Selena Roberts is involved, I'll have to withhold judgement. She has shown complete irresponsibility with that Duke lacrosse article.

Don't confuse this with defending A-Fraud. He is in dire need of a manziere.

Hank Aaron had like 4,000 more at bats then Ruth. There is only one Home run KIng and thats the sultan of swat. if he had played outfield earlier in his career we would not be having this conversation Ruth would have hit easily 800 probably closer to 900, look at the stats people not just the home run numbers.

Obaam is a junkie too. I guess we all have issues.

It's funny that so many posts say some version of "who cares" when to have posted here in the first place one has to have cared about the subject enough to read the article.
Selena Roberts is not my idea of a first-rate investigative journalist, and the evidence listed is not overwhelming. I just heartily dislike Alex Rodriguez, and shamelessly read whatever looks like it might pose problems for the Yankees. This interest on my part is one way of saying the Yankees are an exceptionally successful ballclub, an ongoing competitive challenge to the club I root for, and that Rodriguez is a very successful ballplayer whose skills one takes very seriously, like it or not.
That being said, I heartily enjoy imagining this seemingly arrogant and self-obsessed dude being called, shall we say, "B.T." by his teammates. I fill in the words and chortle fiendishly. It's shameless, but I blame three generations of passionate and waaaay often humiliated Red Sox fandom in my veins :-)

"It's all George Bush's fault...."

He did trot out Tom Brady during a State of the Union message to call on Congress to investigate steroid use in sports . . . but when his buddy Raphael Palimiero got caught red-handed, GWB defended him . . .

You may be righter than you suspect.

The nickname came to be seeen in the article on espn. think female dog and something women have that guys do not. B T.

Surprise, surprise. This is no "bomb-shell" - his credibility is already shot, and his reputation is permanently damaged. He will be remembered not as a great baseball player, but as a cheat like Ben Johnson, Marion Jones, Barry Bonds, Clemens, McGuire, Sosa, Tejada, etc.

The higher they fly, the harder they fall. The rest of A-Rod's life will suck, but it's poetic justice. Honesty is the best policy - there ain't no hiding place from the Father of creation.

the legend of babe ruth, henry aaron, and willie mays will FOREVER live on...

Guide Talking At The Hall of SHAME Section In The Hall of Fame - " And here in the basement collecting dust, are all the Baseball Players' uniforms, gloves and bats who will never have their name proudly displayed upstairs because they needed steroids to produce the numbers they supposedly achieved "

and Nomar, Nixon, Varitek, Manny and BIG PAPI are all and have all been clean.

If Kevin Brown was taking performance-enhancing drugs, it's pretty obvious he wasn't following the instructions on the bottle.

It's obvious who in baseball has used. A-rod admitted it. Sure. First he denied and lied, then he fixed his lies by telling the truth, but not the real truth because he got caught in a bunch of lies again. Then he gets "hurt" or was he kept out to get "clean"? Nobody will know the real truth, so why beat a dead horse?
Plenty of folks say "Clemens. Giambi, Bonds, and the rest of the "greats" we blindly looked up to, have poisoned Americas sport." But who can blamed them? The real ones to blame are the money hungry, never satisfied owners who wave the almighty dollar at them and the corrupt baseball union for fighting enhanced drug testing for so long.

Obviously a witch hunt. He's the best player in the game and that's hard to admit as Sox fan. Id trade Ortiz for Arod in a heartbeat. Be careful about this new era of sport media and writers....they all want to be the next Woodward and Bernstein . Selena is in it for herself. Where is the rest of the list of over 100 MLB players on roids?? only Arod??? Its a witch hunt to sell her book.

The players who stop using typically break down phsically. How long is that contract?

Dare I say, "I'm glad we kept Manny."

Of course he juiced before and after Texas. Many players did, and kids will continue to unless there are real penalties for these players. I probably would take steroids if I was 17 and felt that it could make me a millionaire who is revered for playing a game.

The nickname was "B-tch T-ts"

Hey Jim, you moron, get over it. Your lame party lost the election and the country. Deal with it and shut up about has beens.

I went to the same highschool as this guy, it was rumored for years after he left that he juiced. He gained something like 30lbs of muscle in less than a year. Hoffman knew it, because he was also the Athletic Director, but I must admit, A-Rod wasn't the only one on roids, the school was big on sports and several guys were on them. Hoffman did whatever it took to win the national championship at our school, people just looked the other way.

Performance enhancing drugs should be legalized because it is likely that more than 50% of MLB players are on them anyways. So might as well level the playing field and not engage in this game of who is clean and who is not and end this hypocrisy once and for all

I have no issues with A-Fraud's drug/steroid use/abuse and I don't have any issues with him being a Yankee. However, I do think he is a low life and classless individual both on and off the field and I for one am not going to to be buying a baseball jersey or cap that has his name on it

Rich (#48), i agree completely. this is a quote from Tom House who played on the braves during the same time period as Hank Aaron.

Tom House, 1973
QUOTE ~ We didnt get beat, we got out milligramed. When we got beat we found out what they were on and took it. House Played for the Atlanta Brave's, the team when 3 guys hit 40+ Homeruns, 2 guys who never came close before and a 40 year old . . . .odd. House also said, we took stuff they didn't give to horse's.

this stuff has been around long before canseco.

Yankee ticket prices were just taken off HGH.

Why does Joe Morgan on ESPN always tout how fab ARod plays the game? Is he being paid by ARod/ACups PR people? Doesn't he read what everyone else is reading/thinking and should at least keep his comments off the air. For a Hall of Famer he really sounds either blithely ignorant or is rushing to the bank after every utterance about ACup. (Thank you for that new name since he was called Nancy before). By the way, does anyone remember the pictures when he became a Yankee wearing the pink tutu. Everyone should have figured him out at that time.

//Who cares what he did in high school? Steroids were not illegal. So while it may have been ill-advised, it was certainly not illegal or against any rules.//

I don't know where you got this idea, but you're incorrect. The sale of steroids without a prescription is illegal.

The Nickname was B*tch T*ts. Tee hee...

yawn. what else have you got Globe?

To all the idiots out there... regardless of whether steroid use is or was against the explicit rules in MLB, Little League or High School Sports... they are ILLEGAL, therefore their use is ILLEGAL and using them to improve your performance in a game is CHEATING! Get a freaking clue!

I agree we absolutely need to find out what the nickname was and use it whenever he is at Fenway....!

If he his taking them, his dealer must leave town every September.

I am a die-hard Sox fan and I hate the Yankees. But, come on, do all of you seriously think that our guys didn't use? What about Ortiz? The guy's stats majorly changed after players started getting busted for steroids left and right - coincidence? Sure, we all hate A-Rod - and we all HATE the Yankees - but grow up. There are a million reasons to be grateful he didn't end up with the Sox - he's a major clubhouse distraction, doesn't perform in the outfield, other players don't like him - but to chastise him for something that some of own more than likely did is ridiculous. Can't we all just move on???

When people use the "ALL athletes do it" I don't agree with this statement, because I do not believe that "ALL" do it. Another post says that perhaps Hank Aaron could have done it as well, that's being just like Selena, don't you think?

Maybe he did it in HS maybe not...but why deny it once, and then go on national TV and admit to using it "once and didn't like it." Lie once forever a liar, never to be believed again.

who gives a rat's butt?? it's probably so rampant that they'll just cover up and life will go on......only effective way to win is to stop attending or watching MLB...

ANOTHER NON FAN OF A ROD I HATE THIS DUDE A REAL SCUM BAG

"Sports Illustrated writer Selena Roberts, who broke the story that A-Rod flunked a steroid screening in 2003, reveals fellow Bombers nicknamed the third baseman "B---h T--s" in 2005." (If you don't think that the fans at Fenway are going to be chanting "Bitch Tits" when he returns to Boston June 9th then you are dumber than, well, A-Rod)

Actually Babe Ruth is the TRUE home run champion! With all due respect to Hammerin Hank...it took Aaron nearly 4,000 more career at bats to hit 41 more home runs than Ruth...The Sultan of Swat!!!

From the NY Daily News......
" ...fellow Bombers nicknamed the third baseman "B---h T--s" in 2005."

Difficult to write the teammate nickname without getting censored, but from what I read in the NY papers, it was this (I trust you can fill in the blanks):

Bi--h T-ts

My guess is that it might become a Fenway taunt.

i can't say that i am surprised this comes at a bad time for the yanks, a-rod will soon be back in the lineup and now this is another media circus.The Red Sox have to be VERY GLAD THE TRADE THEY WERE GOING TO MAKE FELL THROUGH! The Yankees are stuck with him for the next NINE YEARS ! good ,serves the bastards right !!!!!!

Seriously is this really a surprise? All you have to do is look at the guys body and know he does steroids, always has, and still does. He does not have the body of a baseball player, but more like a weight lifter. I hope he ends up paying for all the cheating he has done in the game, as well as anyone else who has done it, or they find out is doing it. This cheating needs to stop, it's not fair to the players who play the game right and honestly!!!!!!

I am happy that at least the man when cornered did fess up. Gains a little bit more respect from the common man. Unfortunate that he was in the game when you had to get an edge. Too much pressure and I'm sure some bad advice. Roger and Rafael are still miffed about their results. Hopefully more players will come clean and the game will continue. I'm hoping I can get Roger on my fantasy team by July

the yankees are stuck with him and his HUGE CONTRACT FOR THE NEXT NINE YEARS !!!!!! GOOD NO ONE DESERVES THIS DOG MORE THAN THE YANKEES !!!!!!!!

Wonderful News!!!! I really think A Rod should be banned for life from baseball and be forced to pay back every dollar he ever earned from MLB and his endorsements directly to Red Sox fans. This way, the Yankees will get punishment for their cooperstion in his illegal activities.

I am in no way defending A-Fraud here, but at this point......there is no player on any major league team where it would surprise me to find out they were using steroids or HGH. It was so prevelent in the game, and the players wanted to get better, hit more HR's, and get bigger contracts. I think that we, as Boston fans, shouldn't be so naive to think that none of the Red Sox players ever used. I won't point fingers at anyone, b/c who knows at this point? The game seems to be getting cleaner, but don't forget that they still aren't testing for HGH.

i'm sorry, but it has to be said: Rob honey, one does not RENT books from the library, one BORROWS books from the library.
schmuck!
oh and yeah, death to america, no wait, i mean a-rod sucks!

A-Boob!

Selena Roberts needs to first off shut her mouth. She wasted a lot of time writing a book on :1) someone else's life, and 2) informations that she has no clue is actually true or not. So what if Alex used any performance enhancing drugs in the past. It was in the past, everyone needs to just stop worrying about it and move on. He's a good player with a good attitude. I would still love for him to be a role model for my kids. He is never in trouble for drinking, recreational drugs, or weapons. Personally, i would love to see alex purchase all of Selena's book's and light them all on fire as just a slap in her face. I want to find something that she did wrong in her past and write a book on it to try to humiliate her.

They Just Looking For Something Or Someone To Keep Him Down All The Time . M.Y.O.B His Life And What He Wants To Do With It Has Nothing To Do With Anyone Else . If He Used Steriods In His School There's Nothing You Can Do About It Now So Back Off . Either Way He's Going To Be On The Yankees And Play For 9-10 Years More And Get Paid So Why Should He Care What Other People Think . He's The Best Player The Yankees Got, They Need Him . I Dont Care What Anyone Thinks Im Always Going To Be An Alex Rodriguez Fan . Love You A-rod Keep Doing What You Want To Do !!
