i see this two ways.

1) we probably all knew at one point he was putting the stuff in his body.

2) If I'm A-rod and the players Union, I am beyond pissed that this got out. he never had to take those tests randomly, but they did so under the notion that it would be completely anonymous.

this could get nasty.

Doesn't surprise me one bit. Everyone was doing it, just admit it and move on otherwise this crap is going to happen.

wow, it seems that just about all the players that put up monster HR numbers from the 'roid era have been busted.

the old axiom still stands...if it looks too good to be true, it probably is

also as far as the players union and leaks go...some of this may be a product of the economy.

If you were in the loop back then, and are now unemployed, home foreclosed, etc..., and get offered some money to hand over a document or give out information, it's open season

Wow. Another Ranger outed as a juicer. Can't say I'm too surprised.

So just to review, ALL of Jose Conseco's allegations have turned out to be correct? Wow.

I feel like that is more surprising than anything else, never felt that everything he said was true

A shorter list now is "Who didn't use?"....i'd like to think that guys like Papi, Pujols, Manny, etc, stayed off it, but it's highly unlikely.

Yeah, the Rangers are the only team that had players on steroids...nevermind that 104 players tested positive in that test in '03. I bet they all played on the Rangers...

I am beyond disappointed in this new revelation... A-Rod was supposed to break the record and do it the right way unlike the biggest d-bag in the world Barry Bonds. This really sucks. But what did we really expect he did transform somewhat...

The photo comparisons are ridiculous. A professional athlete is going to look differently at age 19 than at age 30....just like a non-athlete.

When I lived in Tampa, I worked out at an athletic club where most of the athletes do. A-Rod was there with his trainer and a few other guys. When I was at a bench near him and his entourage, I overheard him asking his trainer (who was the posterchild for steroid use)if he thought people suspected him of using steroids.

The trainer, of course, said no because he wasn't extremely thick like Bonds and others like that. I didn't think much of this conversation at the time other than that it was quite a strange conversation to be having at the athletic club. This took place after he was playing with the Yankees so it was probably 2004 to 2005 but now I know why they were having this conversation.

I'm tired of hearing who took steroids. I don't care. Testing is in place, the problem is fixed, now let's just leave all of this in the past. Steroid use was so rampant over the past few years that it shouldn't disqualify anybody from the HOF, their stats in comparison to the era they played in. They're just inflated overall, just like they were all low during the dead ball era.

you know hearing the background on this story...

it's just hilarious looking back now to read that in 2003 MLB felt like they needed to do "experimental" testing on 100 players to see if they had a steroid problem.

Gee, did you think? Wow, talk about the horse already being way out of the barn.

just heard on espn radio that a-rod is doing an interview with peter gammons that will air later on today on sportscenter. should be interesting to see what he has to say.

Good chance he won't have anything to say. He needs to just fess up to this, but even if he does he'll admit to doing it once, which is laughable.

should be interesting.

if he admits to using, even if just once for injury recovery, he will be the first 1st ballot hall-of-famer to admit knowingly using.

admitted to using from 2001 to 2003
