says he regrets and apologizes baseball. As soon Alex Rodriguez received a call from Sports Illustrated last Saturday for comment on the information that linked to steroid use in 2003, the slugger took his private plane in Miami and flew to the Bahamas from a luxury hotel there, away from the media, begin to consult with industry sources and outside baseball.
From his former agent, Scott Boras, until Guy Oseary, the manager of singer Madonna (who allegedly was romantically linked), A-Rod replaced the gym for an office, and weights, bats and gloves for your Blackberry.
In the afternoon yesterday, the man spoke. With his voice quivering at times, Rodriguez faced allegations that tested positive for a steroid test six years ago, and agreed in an interview with ESPN that he did use performance-enhancing drugs while playing for the Texas Rangers for a period of three years, beginning in 2001.
"When I came to Texas in 2001, I felt enormous pressure, needed to look good and in great shape all day," Rodriguez told ESPN's Peter Gammons, in an interview from Miami Beach, Florida. "Back then, [baseball] was a different culture. It was something very loose, I was young, I was stupid, I was naive, was to prove to everyone that deserved to be one of the greatest players of all time.
