New details have arose in the A-Rod Steroids Scandal. It turns out the former golden boy of baseball now blames his cousin for injecting him with an over-the-counter performance-enhancing substance.
Rodriguez says he chose to be shot up with drugs obtained in the Dominican Republic to gain an energy boost, which he refers to as a "stupid mistake."
A week-and-a-half after the three-time AL MVP and the game's highest-paid star was thrown under the bus by Sports Illustrated, he made a 55-minute apology to the media. A-Rod began the circus by reading a statement of B.S. and finished with a dramatic 37-second pause. He then blinked like a crackhead, turned to his teammates and simply said "Thank you."
No one said, "You're welcome."

Never mind what A-Rod used or when. Who cares now? He's gone from telling Katie it was nothing at all to admitting it was something -- he wasn't quite sure what -- to offering specifics on what it was and where it came from: the DR.
What he used, or has been using, isn't the story anymore. People aren't going to debate his past "or talk about my future as if it's already been determined."
Oh, no. They're be too busy knockin' on doors in Central America, Miami and elsewhere.
Trust me: I was in the business for nearly three decades. I sent people running after a lot less than that. From where I sit now, I can practically hear the voices raised at once: "Find the cousin!"

I was going to add a post about A-Rod.. then I realized I'd be adding fuel to this fire that NEEDS to go out.. WHO CARES? He hasn't tested postitive since 2003, he hasn't done anything that we know of, or can prove, since the penalties came into play. ESPN and MLB network are beating a dead horse here.. A-Rod is admitting to what he did, when he did it, what it was, and he's not lying or causing congress to spend millions on investigating him.. I may not love him as a player, but I'm not holding it against him like some of the others (Bonds).. A-Rod still has a lot of records to break, and hopefully that won't be overshadowed by some dumbass mistakes from 6 seasons ago.
Let's focus on the fact that spring training is here.. Hooray!
a-fricking-men.
One of the questions asked at the press conference was, would you have ever admitted to using steroids if you had not been recently named as one of the 104 on the list?
Giving AROD credit for admiting the already known just inflates his ego even more.
