Did Alex Rodriguez use steroids? If anyone has been tuning in to the news lately, you know the answer to this question … yes, since 2001-2003. “A-Roid” has been the hot new nickname that has recently linked him to this HOT baseball debate.
Did A-Rod NOT know what his cousin was injecting into his body repeatedly over a three year period? You don’t travel to the Dominican Republic to buy an over-the-counter “drug” that you were told will give you more energy when you wouldn’t normally touch a Snickers candy bar with a 10-foot stick otherwise.
Today we are going to reveal the real motives behind all this use of SUPERhuman supplements by someone who has been in the heat of the trenches … myself.
The controversy surrounding steroid abuse in sports has gotten out of hand, and you know the answer to 99 out of 100 questions, right? MONEY.
Alex Rodriguez and all the other unfortunate high performance athletes who were caught are not sorry for what they did, they are sorry that someone saw them with their illegal hand in the cookie jar. We’ve all heard the saying, “It’s not cheating if you don’t get caught!”
Also, A-Rod has said that with the stress of such huge contracts, he felt like he couldn’t live up to the pressure like just a Clark Kent. Waving millions of dollars in the face of a 20-year-old can be very intimidating, and as you will see, the players are just the pawns, the sweaty, blazing light of guilt should rise higher up the corporate ladder.
We are not going to address the harmful effects that steroids and HGH play on the body today, we can find that on the back of a milk carton, but here is the story of the gamer tape:
Unfortunately for Alex Rodriguez, now as the NEW poster for being a banned substance user, it all boils down to this:
- Steroids are illegal, otherwise their use is restricted,
- It is proven that they improve their performance far beyond what we can do with natural means, therefore
- It is a trap, plain and simple.
If a player illegally risks steroid use to perform, and a competitor does not, that creates unfair play. If you challenged me to a race in bouncing moon shoes and you show up with spikes on the track, then that’s not fair. I will still beat you though 😉
Dictionary.com puts the word “cheat” like this:
“To violate rules or regulations.”
But wasn’t Androsteindione against the rules when Mark McGwire got caught? Not only was he taking Andro McGwire, but he was arrested by the media with it … he was stacking other supplements besides, which by the way were steroids, and last time I checked they were illegal.
The real problem with players like Alex RodrÃguez?
MONEY is in the hands of dumb young millionaires looking for quick fixes. Playing 162 games per season is possibly the hardest thing to do in any sport, with 6 months to play, 7 if you’re lucky, and each game averages almost 3 hours each time. The gamer needs something to aid in recovery … steroids do just that.
Now, in response to Teflon corporations, “don’t point your finger at me,” lip,
Do you really think Bud Selig, franchise owners, general managers, and field managers DID NOT know what was going on? Come on … professional baseball is a business, they are in it to win it, they trade players like we do baseball cards … and after the black-eyed baseball received by the 1994 baseball strike, the sport needed a face- lift, or should I say peck deck with syringe included.
The front office may not have directly caught players like Alex Rodriguez with needles – God knows they wouldn’t have (sarcastic tone) – but they sure didn’t ask questions as the company’s revenue soared before and after Mark Mcgwire. . and Sammy Sosa’s 1998 home run derby of the season.
If you were running a business and your pockets started filling up with money almost suddenly, wouldn’t you want to know what was going on and what you were doing right? The answer is that they knew. They lie like most politicians, and don’t worry, those scaly-skinned Knights probably participated as well.
Going back to the naive gladiators of today, like Alex Rodriguez, thrown under the bus. Now Congress is getting involved, which is strange to me, why would they care? Do you remember the answer to 99 out of 100 questions? MONEY. Whether it’s to distract people and the media from their own circus, we’ll never know.
The reality is …
Unfortunately, there are quite a few fans who have suffered from this economic crisis, which means that they will not renew their season tickets, which will result in a drop in ticket sales and thus make it difficult for franchises to pay their employees ( the Gladiators). It will be interesting in the next few years because the rooster will return home to rest!
Or is it the Philly Fanatic?
Where am I in all this Alex Rodriguez steroid jazz?
I played four years in college, never used steroids, but played with guys who did … the closest I got to performance enhancers was using creatine, and for about a week, I thought about wearing Mark McGwire’s Achilles heel , Androsteindione (also known as a steroid precursor). I could never bring myself to do it, but for a short time there, I seriously thought about,
The hundreds of thousands of dollars potential I could earn from a professional contract as it would help me build massive amounts of lean muscle mass, hit the ball further, run faster, and recover from intense workouts at breakneck speeds. All the things scouts foam at the mouth for.
All we need is Love …
Players must get out, take responsibility, before their name hits the fan, unlike Alex Rodriguez’s forced apology. Be sincere and people will forgive you, be stubborn like Barry Bonds (who would have been a Hall of Famer without performance enhancers, by the way) and you will end up as Pete Rose, who will take his denial to the grave and to the doorstep. it will be closed forever.
The business of steroids, or other derivatives, will continue as companies continue to introduce stealth supplements undetectable to the naked eye from a laboratory Petri dish.
