Man...most MLB players have been juicing. You be the judge, jury and executioner. The Mitchell Report was only a sliver of the giant iceburg. There are many, many more....and the list is long.

Perhaps we have another cocky Clemens?

And does it really matter? If you have a grand selection of players who have admitted and they are admitting or "coming clean" at the spring training camps....then the entire past 10-20 years has been totally like "screwed-up", because some players play better and some may play worse from steroids and HGH.

Arod is the pretty boy for MLB. Plain and simple.

The first comment of the season from A-Rod and already there's a bit of controversy. Enjoy the year-long drama Yankee fans. Whether he's the bad guy or not, A-Rod will probably break the record for most pointless, non-playing stories on the back pages of the NY Post and NY Daily News in 2008.

its such a circus, great that he tested negative, great for all to test negative, however nobody can test for HGH.

What a non-story. I want the last 15 seconds of my life back T & R. What a joke.

Damn, at least the story in the Daily News spoke about somm other questions that he spoke to but that also was a bit of fluff and funny paper filler. I agree metrosouth basically the story is a joke. But 15 seconds?? and I thought I was a fast reader.

What a non-story. I want the last 15 seconds of my life back T & R. What a joke.

Agreed, if this was someone on the Roayls, no one would care.

Get used to stories like this.....The players have brought this on themselves.

Here comes Mr. Big Mouth back again. A-rod has a penchant for putting his foot in his mouth.

A-Roidee of the Yankee Doodlers, a known Roidee for years in MLB, just another cheater continue lying while riding on his pony into spring training.

This does bring up an interesting question however. If you only get 2 tests a year and another random one that is only 3. If Arod says he got tested 9-10 times how did he come up with the other 6 tests? Coincidentally if you fail a test for amphetamines you earn yourself another 6 tests in a year. 3 plus 6 equals 9. Did Arod just confess to failing a test last year and do it in a way where most of the fans will have it go right over their heads?

Ah...gcm....the professor of Yankee hate has appeared.

I don't think A-Rod is a user so people should stop trying to find something that isn't there. Besides baseball only test the big names anyhow. Everyone else is swept under the rug.

Yeah 4192 I might have exaggerated that a little bit! It took me a little longer than that. Even with the extended reading time the result was still the same. Stupid, stupid non-story. The guy just can't say anything without reporters going ape ****.

nascar- I personally don't think (more like hope) Arod is on anything. But his statement if taken literally which the media will always do will cause a firestorm of did he fail a test. I think he was just trying to be funny with the media and keep the mood light hearted. Arod should take note the media are vultures and he should only speak to them when the questions pertain to his on field perfomance.

I receive my invite did you to the spring fling Roidee party, hosted by the Yankees Pettitte, Gambi and A-Roidee. Special drink - Doodler Juice - roids and hgh from Venus.

at first i was concerned...now i'm just ready to slam the door shut and put a big * next to everything that went down from about 1980 to 2003 in baseball. we all know the truth.
if the guy batting wasn't using steroids, the guy throwing to him was.
i really don't care anymore.
this period will always have a cloud over it no matter how this she said she said 8itch fight turns out.
it's just rats ratting on rats.
it's like back in the hey day of organized crime when the police thought "as long as they are only hurting each other...who cares"?
that is how i now look at this period in baseball.

That's an awfully sinister avatar there, PARTYPIMP.

bc, it is a random thing, this testing, so theoretically someone could wind up with six random tests in a year. But since the testing is supposed to be kept quiet until a player fails more than once we will never know , I guess, if he failed a speed test or not. I think ARod sometimes suffers from Hankies affliction and runs off at the mouth before he engages his brain. God, the guy so wants to be accepted but some times he should just keep quiet. Ya know: Keep It Simple Stupid.

Yeah Arod needs to learn that less is sometimes more. He should apply that to his dealings with the media. Partypimp brings up a good point. No matter what happens with Clemens or Bonds we will never know who actually did what from 1980 to 2003 so the whole era will forever be remembered as a black cloud on the game. That is a shame because as many cheaters as there may have been I am sure there were a few great players who were clean who will have their reputation sullied just because of the time frame they played in.
