A Miami man connected to Alex Rodriguez and other baseball players is apparently under investigation for illegally
distributing, you guessed it, performance-enhancing drugs.
I just don’t understand why the
New York Yankees third baseman has so much trouble staying away from these
questionable characters. How a man with so many resources, which could be used
to pay for the best public relations advisors and lawyers, consistently finds
himself connected to shady characters is beyond me. ARod invites the scorn and
ridicule he receives on a regular basis with his sketchy associations. But more
importantly, he invites the question about whether he is cheating again. And if
he is doing so now, he is doing it under the more rigorous microscope of Major
League Baseball, which apparently is aware of the situation and cooperating
with authorities.
The news comes just days
after Yankees general manager Brian Cashman left open the possibility that ARod could miss the 2013 baseball season completely. While it seems unlikely, the
fact that it’s even possible speaks to ARod’s precarious physical state, which
many observers attribute to his PED usage. If he misses an entire season
because of this injury, it’s something that ARod is probably not going to
recover from in New York, not when he’s making more than $30 million a year to
play baseball and so many people are struggling to pay their everyday bills.
ARod could be completely
innocent in this matter, but he won’t get the benefit of the doubt because of his
previous history with PEDs. The man really isn’t doing himself any favors.
