New A-Rod Steroid Allegations: SO WHAT!!

With Selena Roberts’ new A-Rod/steroids book about to hit book shelves, new allegations against the slugger were leaked alleging Rodriguez used steroids in high school and possibly while with the Yankees.

I say “BIG WHOOP!” And I’ll tell you why.

We already got the guy. We already made him come clean and humiliate himself in front of a worldwide audience. Everyone knows the guy’s a cheater.

His reputation has already been destroyed and his accomplishments – even those accumulated now, during his supposed “clean” years – are much less impressive.

The curtain’s been pulled on A-Rod. We know how he works, how he thinks, how he functions.

You know that expression, “once you’re dead, you can’t get anymore dead?” If A-Rod actually did use steroids more often than those three years in Texas, does that sully his reputation even more?

I say no way. Once you’re busted using juice it doesn’t matter if you did it once or 1,000 times. You’ve already tainted your legacy. Whatever chance A-Rod had of being counted among the All-Time greats has been DEAD since February. It ain’t getting any DEAD-er with these new revelations.

What I’m saying is, the guy’s character is shot. There’s no coming back from that. Fans will NEVER look at A-Rod the same way.

This book is piling on new examples of A-Rod’s deceitfulness. In our eyes, the original revelation that Alex Rodriguez was a fraud was all we needed.

No need to get worked up over this new information. Since February, we didn’t think too highly of the guy anyway.
