New York Yankees offered a conditional endorsement to third baseman Alex Rodriguez, who admitted ESPN on Monday that he used steroids for a period of three years when he was with the Texas Rangers. "We strongly believe that there is no room in baseball for performance enhancing drugs or other, and support the commissioner's efforts to further improve the detection process," the club said in a statement Monday night.
"We urge Alex to be completely open, honest and candid in addressing his use of performance enhancing drugs. Take their word that was. While we are disappointed with the mistake he spoke today, we realize that Alex - like all of us - is a human and not immune to fail, "it said.
" We often talk about what members of this organization are part of a family, and never more so than in times of adversity. Alex took a big step by admitting his error, and although there is no remission of using performance-enhancing drugs, we respect your decision to take responsibility for their actions, "the Yankees.
" We support Alex, and will do everything possible to help meet this challenge and prepare for next season, "they said.
