I have a cast iron stomach, but these guys make anyone want to hurl.What was A-Rod's "mistake?" Sitting on a syringe over and over again without asking for a new stool?
From Yahoo Sports, quoting the Yankees' front office:
"We strongly believe there is no place in baseball for performance-enhancing drugs of any type, and we support the efforts of the Commissioner to continually improve the testing process,” the statement read.
“We urged Alex to be completely open, honest and forthcoming in addressing his use of performance enhancing drugs. We take him at his word that he was. Although we are disappointed in the mistake he spoke to today, we realize that Alex - like all of us - is a human being not immune to fault.”
The Yankees also reiterated their family-type atmosphere, and Rodriguez was no exception.
“We speak often about the members of this organization being part of a family, and that is never more true than in times of adversity,” the statement read. “Alex took a big step by admitting his mistake, and while there is no condoning the use of performance-enhancing drugs, we respect his decision to take accountability for his actions.
“We support Alex, and we will do everything we can to help him deal with this challenge and prepare for the upcoming season.”
