As per Tracy Connor, who apparently got an advance copy of the Selena Roberts book.

Oh, and there's other stuff:

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 "B---h T--s" 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.


He also allegedly tipped off opposing batters about pitches if they were in a slump during blowout games with the Rangers. What a coincidence that this one is probably impossible to prove either way since the action isn't focused on the SS before the pitch in game videos.

A lot of this stuff sounds like hearsay, speculation, and unverifiable claims, which makes me think Roberts blew her wad with the crap that came out in the winter. Whatever, I don't care, just get him back in the lineup.

And don't make like 8 threads about this please. Discuss it here.

Honestly at this point, I really don't care. I just want him back in the lineup. I don't care what he did yesterday as long as he is fully committed to help us win today. All of this stuff is just annoying. -JItpal

The Hooters thing was the best part of the entire article. Nothing but blatant examples of kicking a guy when he's down. The steroid allegations, tipping off pitches? Sure, those are relevant. Details on his affairs and how much he tips at Hooters? Totally irrelevant when he's paid to play baseball, not to not be an ass.

Although, I did find the whole "bitch tits" thing to be pretty amusing.

I don't think anybody will care about this stuff, there was enough ARod nonsense in March. Only ESPN will pick up on this and make something of it.

selena roberts is one of those people that if i ever saw in person id just punch


he gave 15% at hooters, i mean thats not cheap, that is wat the standard is, its a non story

i do think this could divide the clubhouse, but now that every1 in that lockerroom has seen this team is going nowhere w/out arod, he will be embraced by them all and not i believe they will support him

Buck Showalter (sp?) was just on Michael Kay and said he never even had an ounce of thought that A-rod was tipping batters. Doug Meintkewicz (sp?) says he's 99.5% that Arod didn't do roids in HS. I'm thinking this chick is losing credibility in a move to sell books.

If it is proved that Arod was tipping pitches, then he deserves to be banned from baseball.

Tipping pitches is a much worse offense than using steroids IMO. That's just something you don't do to your pitching staff. I agree that it's damn near impossible to prove that he did it though.
