ESPN Sportscenter: Alex Rodriguez Interviewed by Peter Gammons Part 1/4 

Dont forget “i was stupid” haha

Well at least he came clean. Many players still haven't or get pissed off when interviewers even go into their PED or suspected PED usage. I still say that if you inducted Bud Selig in the Hall of Fame, whose tenure was full of PED usage and he was aware of it, why are you keeping guys like ARod out? There is a way to acknowledge their achievements while also putting an asterisk next to their name about their use of PED's.

Mike Illmatic 😂😂😂

😂😂😂 im dead

Good one

😂😂😂

😂😂

he was taking steroids when he was 16 and training with jose canseco LMAO

@Jason Mayer no proof of roid use, you can't go by that

Was using since high school

+Whis Khalifa mlb could fired him if he still using it.... mlb doesn't care about him or someone else. he said the truth.

Doesn't matter. Pete Rose was a HOF'er before his gambling on baseball blew up...Cheater is a cheater is a cheater...

He was already caught by drug testing, he gets zero credit from me

These guys only "admit" what they did because they GET CAUGHT!... these pussies are cowards

Facts. I think he was better than Jeter

Great timing

Jealous much? I think it’s safe to say, the good portion of people would have done the same.

Roger Clemens was Lance Armstrong and Marrion Jones combined. He had the arrogance of Armstrong with the audacity and nerve that both of them had.

Clemmons a total wreck

I respect your point about amphetamine in earlier eras, but you have to actually cite the great players who took them. You can't generalize when you are comparing to a player like A-Rod who got caught red-handed. I don't think anyone is saying the PEDs allowed him to become a more competent hitter. However, the PEDs he took, primobolan, adds muscle mass (power numbers went from 40 homers to 50) and allowed him to recover after workouts meaning he could work out more consistently and harder-I'm guessing the same result as your alluding to with amphetamine. But he didn't take it because it wouldn't help him. He was a great player before steroids. But wasn't hitting 50 home runs, the same way Bonds never hit 50 home runs before steroids, let alone 70.

Yeah but cocaine doesn't build muscle last time i checked, lol.

This guy would b nothin without steroids

Draven BBS That means so was Bonds and Sosa

👍

@James Epstein Again, steroids didn't give Sosa skill, you are just prejudiced against him for whatever reason. Sosa was 30-30 in 1993. He hit 40 home runs kn 1995 in just 120 games, THAT was supposed to be his breakout year.

@James Epstein I was replying to your comment?

That old saying ' nobody is perfect '.That don't fly anymore

Even in highschool

100% there’s an old tale of homer he hit in highschool that went onto another park’s field. Also that tale includes everyone knew back then he was on the juice.

He admitted to using PED’s. Do you want a detailed explaining as to exactly how he did it and where in his ass the shot was going? Guess everyone has their little fetishes.

true

Rather watch players not cheating

@@firebird_spleen4190 Players still cheat

And then get caught using roids again. Still a hell of a player.

I honestly have much more respect for A-rod after all this! Yes he got caught( which i imagine had to be one of the most embarrassing, life changing events to go through)? But he absolutely turned it into a positive aspect of life and sports? He freely opened up head on and basically helped so many people especially kids? Sorry but thats what happened and he showed us how to overcome life's challenges and move in a positive direction so " props" Alex! 👍

You know that for sure? My money is on that he took them throughout his whole career. Dude was a bum.

Chris'sVids79 fuck you and the smile on your face

Me too

Seriously I agree fuck haters!

It's a shame that this will we be what he's remembered for and not what he did as a player.

Yes I agree he has done many things as a player that many players can't and so what if he had an advantage there's been steroids around for a lot longer then they say. They just don't want people to be distraught with the game. Arod is a beast and if you don't agree you clearly don't know baseball well. Big Papi 15

My favorite player of all time , and will always be

Emily Nguyen same

Yup early February 2009 and I remember like it was yesterday I was 8 years old watching this and I told myself "I knew it!"

Th Mo you wrong.

Arod carried the yankees some years, and was the reason the Yankees won the WS in 2009. If you're talking about tainted WS, the redsox had steroid users on their team, matter of fact, Manny was the WS MVP.

ericaisright ericaisNOTright. The majority of the 2004 Red Sox were clean, and there is no proof Manny was juicing back then.

SuperGamer7 here's the proof goodbye. sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4366335

mike damelio Oh no, see I was already aware of that. This was a cleared up a long time ago. The supplement Ortiz took was Vitamin B. At the time, it wasn't a banned substance. He never juiced, or took Steroids, or HGH, EVER! Manny is a different story, yes. But, keep in mind the year was 2003, not 2004. So, like I said, the MAJORITY (including Ortiz) was clean back then. What you showed me wasn't "proof," it was something I already knew, and has already been addressed. So shut up, and goodbye, dumbass hater.

OOOOkk, well in that case there's no proof that any players were using steroids before they started tested, except for the investigations. But like I said the red sox had users on their team, not "most'. I never said any about all. Hovever, deadspin.com/5982461/curt-schilling-says-red-sox-officials-urged-him-to-consider-peds bleacherreport.com/articles/175226-the-majority-of-boston-red-sox-used-steroids But I'm going to easy since you're obviously young.

Lol everybody does that dude

Yes, yes it does

Take a look in the mirror as well. I can guarantee you’ve lied before, we all have. Don’t throw stones.

Don't kid yourself, he has actually been using steroids ever since he was a Junior in high school. He put on over 25 pounds of muscle from his Sophomore to Junior seasons. He went from being a bad baseball player, barely averaging .200 to literally the best player in the country. Jose Canseco said he met ARod in high school and says he was likely on steroids, Rodriguez could lift just as much as Canseco back then. There were rumblings of his steroid use in his Seattle days. This guy probably wouldn't even be in the majors if it weren't for the juice.

Alex du bist der beste 1000 %👍👍👍👍👍❤🍀

Wouldn’t have been that close without them so that’s a negative try again dummy

Damn guy. Does it really bother you that much? You seem like a scorned ex lover who never got over the breakup.

😂😂😂

The majority of things are scripted for entertainers and athletes. Where the hell have you been? ALL teams have a PR person who coaches and preps players for the media. Some need it more than others.

Then the second he says where and who he got it from you and everyone would call him a rat. It’s a no win situation for him. He did more than all the other players and publicly admitted to using.

el viajero el verdadero yeah no, try mike trout

He got caught doing it after this interview it's not a mistake dumbass

@@DaVinci_Diesel Your team cheats

@@kamfisher1714 who's my team?

Ik! What a bitch

Me too :)
