A-Rod's Admission Not Enough

A-Rod actually did something that makes him smarter than Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, he apologized for taking steroids. But was that enough.

Alex Rodriguez admitted to taking steroids during his three year stint with the Texas Rangers. He said that he was in a wrong place, felt pressure, felt the Texas heat, so he roided. He said that he stopped after he was traded to New York. If you believe this, then good for you. I don't.

Who's to say he didn't use steroids during his Seattle days. Seattle is close enough to the Bay Area that he could have made a call to Victor Conte and BALCO. What about his time so far in New York? He was in the same clubhouse as Clemens, Jason Giambi, and Andy Pettite.

This is what the steroid era has done to baseball. We don't know who did steroids or when they did steroids. This is why I can't take Rodriguez's word right now. He is in the club with the rest of the steroid era players.

A-Rod's teammates are sticking behind him, but there are a lot of people questioning his story.

A-Rod will continually being questioned about his steroid use for the rest of his career. If he breaks Barry Bonds home run record it will be tainted. When he is eligible for the hall of fame, he will be questioned. This is the grave A-Rod dug for himself, and he will have to lay down in it with McGwire, Bonds, and Clemens.
