Book: A-Fraud was using steroids while with Yankees

[Upton]

Alex Rodriguez may have bulked up with steroids as early as high school - and was suspected of juicing while playing for the Yankees, a bombshell new book reports.

Although the slugger insists he dabbled in steroids only while with the Texas Rangers, the book "A-Rod" strongly suggests he didn't give up performance enhancers when he came to New York.

Sports Illustrated writer Selena Roberts, who broke the story that A-Rod flunked a steroid screening in 2003, reveals fellow Bombers nicknamed the third baseman "Bitch Tits" in 2005.

That was after he put on 15pounds in the off-season and seemed to develop round pectorals, a condition called gynecomastia that can be caused by anabolic steroids, she writes.

In addition, an unnamed major-leaguer is quoted as saying Rodriguez and steroid-tainted pitcher Kevin Brown were seen together with human growth hormone - HGH - in 2004.

1. It's the NY Daily News. You two seem to have some sort of infatuation

with A-Roids body.

Seems a bit creepy, upton.

2. Oh, I see

so now the head of the Bonds haters is defending A-Fraud...seems a bit hypocritical mad.

3. Way to twist what I posted.

First, you cite something from the NY Daily News. :wtf:

Second, is an observation of you and your twin comments in regards to the bodies of A-Roid and B-Roid!

[Upton]

4. I didn't twist anything

Fact: I've never seen you question a source when it comes to allegations of Bonds' steroid use. Why is A-Fraud receiving the benefit of the doubt in this case from you?....Something you've never seen fit to afford to Bonds under any circumstances. Again, seems rather hypocritical and most revealing.

Here, if it makes you feel any better...ESPN is carrying the same story, though it does link back to the NY Daily News.

5. It's from a book, and it's getting play elsewhere...

...would not surprise me at all if he did this.

6. Oh, the shock. The horror.

7. I'll take "The Bleedin' Obvious" for $500, Alex.

I wouldn't have liked the smegger even if he hadn't been doing roids. This just puts the icing on the hate cake (hey, that would be a good band name!).

8. The answer: A-roid. Buzz in - "Alex, who is the steroid - taking

stripper and hooker -infatuated moran that is the subject of a new tell-all book?"

[Forkboy]

9. Sounds like you got a pretty good handle on the fellow.

:rofl:

10. I could be a 5-time Jeopardy champ if all the questions were about

A-Fraud!

11. Apparently the dumbass was also tipping off batters for the other team.

:wtf:

Or is the book just a fucking hoax. Who the fuck knows and who the fuck cares.

A/B/C-Roids.

Fucking assholes
