Alex Rodriguez stack revealed on 60 minutes: IGF-1, HGH, peptides, test & more

[Grape Ape]

is it just me?

I feel like the baseball ownership are a bunch of guys that got sand kicked in their face at the beach.  Or maybe they didn't make the baseball team in high school or something.

Nobody gives a shit about all the juiced up football players but we have to hear about one or two baseball players for years.  What is this shit?1!!?!!!111

It's because they don't want to lose their anti trust exemption.

[hipolito mejia]

You're confusing the shit out of me.  Are you pro, or anti Yankee?  If anti - explain why karma would hurt them.

Im not anti Yankees... I don't even like Alex  I'm just telling it like it is.

Its long story from the beginning the Yankees did everything in their power to get ARod who  at the time was the best player and (ShortStop )around, the Yanks having Deter Jeter in his prime didn't need Alex at all !!!  but they got him anyways .....when the contract ended, the  Yankees  resigned him with  an offer Alex couldn't refuse once again the highest paid baseball player in history, they knew they will have to pay about 30 millions per year even when Alex  turns 39,40,41 but they gave him the money anyway just to make sure that no one can have 'ARod but the Yankees ....

Now you take it from there.

Mr. clutch    Jeter didn't will never have 1/4 of the talent alex had.  The  guy could of probably played in the nfl...he was that talented. Just watching him field  is like watching a ballerina......probably the Most graceful player since Griffey.

Jeter worked his ass off to become the player he did, a lot of cats out there far  more talented who will never be the player Derek is

typical a guy who likes a pretty boy sissy like Alex would also be in love with Griffey, the original baseball prima-donna. you're a phil heath fan as well, I bet.

What everyone one is failing to see


Ryan Braun won at (age 28)  MVP in 2011, and tested positive for PEDS he said that such results  were "contaminated" so MLB let it "slide", he played for another season then comes the Biogenic scandal and Bryan is finally suspended for 50 days  (first offense) plus 15 extra days for testing positive once again  and  for "violations of the Basic Agreement and its Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program," BS by MLB.

Alex hasn't tested positive in MLB and look what the system is doing to him ....Bosh is revealing' that he injected Alex himself and now he fears that Alex and his mafia might kill him in Colombia.

Dear Yankees don't want the guy no more? give him his money and fire him ....and see if another team is interested in his services, that's why you sign contracts for......

This any judge outside MLB can see clear

what about Arod's alleged active interference with MLB's investigation?
(which supposedly makes his case different from the others who were suspended)

Why give Arod a penny. He'll miss all this year and when he comes back, he's 1 positive test away from lifetime ban and zero dollars...Arod's been on juice since his high school days. Now MLB can test him every day of the week if they want to. And if 1 test comes up dirty, its lifetime ban and the contract is void...All the Yankees have to do is give A-rod some rope and he will hang himself...Test him every day when he comes back and Arod won't have time to manipulate his hormone numbers...And there's no way he will play clean.

If u believe evey Thing Bosch is saying, then why not any big talk around the sports community about boschs claim Arods  but a hit out contract on him when he asked to hide out Colombia?

dude should've left the country.

dude was a steroid dealer/businessman... he should've had some cash saved up. you can live pretty well on $12k per year in Thailand, even better in Saigon. if he had $240k in investments and only getting 5% interest, he could've lived off that pretty easily with an account in Grenada.

even if they took his passport, it's not hard to get to Colombia or Venezuela. could've just gotten in a boat in New Orleans and sailed down.

instead he stayed and faced charges and allowed himself to be put in the position to be a fucking rat.

when it's time to run, you better fucking run.. or you're regret it forever. either way, your life will never be the same.

[mr.turbo]

the offer was 50k and a trip to Colombia...really? sounds like a shitty deal!

Arod was, it's reported, was trying to eliminate tony ,so, tony is listening to his lawyers.

Baseball and Bosch struck a deal that included security for Bosch in exchange for his testimony.



looks like a nice enough fellow

Now you take it from there.

I'm well aware of the history.   They didn't "do everything in their power" to acquire him initially.   When the ARod to the Sox deal fell through, largely because the MLBPA wouldn't let AROD take less pay, and then ARod soured on Boston because Luccino tried to portray ARod and the MLBPA at odds, Cashman made an offhand statement to Boras about Rodriquez possibly moving to third.   Boras actually took it to ARod and and he was all for it.

As for the re-up of his next deal in 07, that was all Levine and Steinbrenner, not Cashman.  Cashman was more than willing to let ARod walk after his opt out.  It was a stupid contract, as are all 10 year deals.

but why so much "investigations" if the guy hasnt tested positive yet ?

Hmmmmm   maybe because ARod wants to play?

 And the deal was AROD playing with yankees till 2017 .

My post was about people saying the Yankees should just pay him off to retire...I'm saying they shouldn't pay him off and let him play after his year suspension. Test him everyday and he will turn up a positive test with that much testing. No doubt about it. Then the Yankees will get out of the contract and A rod will get lifetime ban...Yankees will save themselves over 60 million in 2015 when Arod tests positive and baseball will be done with him...So I agree with you. Play out the contract but test him everyday and some days twice a day...

I agree they shouldn't pay him out, but the MLBPA won't let them test like that.

[flinstones1]

With all that money I don't understand why Alex just won't walk away from baseball. I mean the guy is 40 right? late thirties? 20 years making money doing what you love, and  being the highest paid player of all time  isn't enough? fuck I'd take 5 years in the mlb and walk away graciously.

[tom joad]

WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH H

well, Arod has admitted to juicing in the past which of course MLB can't nail him on.

but re never testing positive ... does MLB have a reliable test for hgh? (don't think so)

Sure you would, that's why so many do just that. 

These guys are competitors to the nth degree.  THIS IS WHAT THEY LOVE TO DO.   They don't just walk away from it when they've made enough.  There's many other things driving it.

But also - he wouldn't walk away and leave 60M on the table either.  These guys aren't wired like that.  Look at the ridiculous justification Cano tried to make for taking his $.

What is the protocol on guys who test postive? I think I read somewhere that Daryl Strawberry was tested a couple times a week for drugs during his playing days after he was nailed a couple times...

That's probably recreational drugs and not PEDs.

Yes it was...I'm trying to find info on how often they can test someone who's been suspended for PED's but can't find the info. If someone can find it please post it up...
