Alex Rodriguez is under scrutiny once again. According the forthcoming book by Selena Roberts on A-Rod, Rodriguez hasn’t been truthful about his comments over the offseason regarding his steroids usage.
According to New York Daily News, in the book former teammates and other people around the game of baseball believe that Rodriguez began using steroids as early as high school. Additionally, the book hints that Rodriguez continued to use steroids after he was acquired by the New York Yankees. Rodriguez has maintained that he only used steroids while with the Texas Rangers over a two-year period.
There are a number of other allegations reportedly in the book, including that Rodriguez was “pitch tipping” in blowouts in hopes of getting favors from other players. When contacted, Rodriguez reportedly said that he didn’t want to get into specifics and denied to discuss the accusations in length.
The Yankees’ third baseman hasn’t played yet in the 2009 baseball season. He’s currently rehabbing from offseason hip surgery. Though he was originally scheduled to return on May 15th, he may be able to return sooner than expected.
