I read this article yesterday, written by ESPN senior writer Jayson Stark, about Sports Illustrated article Alex Rodriguez tested positive for steroids in 03.
Mr Stark is very angry and I do agree, like he says in his article “In baseball, we love our numbers. And we love our heroes. And that brings us to Alex Rodriguez, a man who has committed a crime he doesn’t even understand: A crime against the once-proud history of his sport”, and continuing “A-Rod didn’t commit that crime alone, of course. In many ways, he is just the latest, greatest face of a mass conspiracy that has now succeeded in obliterating the quality that used to separate baseball from the rest of the sporting jungle.”
And the end: “So weep not for what A-Rod has done to himself. Weep for what he’s done to his sport”. You’ll find the article on ESPN here.
A couple of comments from me: Why don’t he respond in the international media like Michael Phelps and how will this effect the sport for the years to come? It sad, it’s worse than I could ever imagine and where is the moron Gene Orza??
