Thread: A-Fraud admits to using steroids

Alex Rodriguez has admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs.

In an interview with ESPN's Peter Gammons, the three-time AL MVP confirmed a Sports Illustrated report that he used steroids over a three-year period with the Texas Rangers from 2001 to 2003.


''When I arrived in Texas in 2001, I felt an enormous amount of pressure. I needed to perform, and perform at a high level every day,'' Rodriguez told Gammons. ''Back then, (baseball) was a different culture. It was very loose. I was young, I was stupid, I was na?ve. I wanted to prove to everyone I was worth being one of the greatest players of all time.


''I did take a banned substance. For that, I'm very sorry and deeply regretful.''

Appartantly everyone was taking steroids around that time.
