Selena Roberts book "A-Rod"

Not sure I can believe all of the things she's spreading. I wouldn't doubt that he's used roids in more places than just Texas, but how can you claim that somebody did steroids because they gained 25 pounds of muscle in high school? I went from 163 to 190 from junior year to senior year, the majority of it muscle.

What do you guys think?

That part may or may not be true, but for real, did anybody in the country actually believe anything he said in those interviews. He is clearly hiding a lot of the real truth.

Once a cheat and a liar, always.

alot of stuff happens in high school i personally put on 2.5 in and 15-20lbs in a year and i only weighted 140 and i wasnt even working out but just playing sports and running

their is alot of stuff in her book but none of it can be proved correct or incorrect cause their is really no way to prove the facts true or false.

I really don't know what to believe. I believe that there are alot of truths in it though.
If it is true that he went from a 100 lb. bench press to a 310 lb. bench press in 6 months, then it is clear that he was doing some kind of growth hormone.

I guess I'll have to read it.

It is hard to say. I'd like to believe he was clean through high school, but I like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Weight gains like that aren't crazy - a lot of people have gains like that just from getting addicted to the weight room. It didn't happen to me until I got to college, when I went from 155 to 185 in a year. The only thing I did was Creatine, and hit the gym twice a day.

i think she is just trying to make money and get publicity.

I would say the years A-Rod posted his best numbers are the years he probably juiced.

That goes for most other baseball players that typically have normal averages for a few years and then suddenly just jump to all star caliber stats the next year. One has to wonder WTF? How does that all change in just one years time? JUICE!!!

i pitched 2 years in Independent baseball, i'm 6'3" and first year i weighted only 175 lbs, the next year i came back 210lbs, i didn't use juice, i just hit the weights really really hard. it was hard but i was able to do it. (that god cuz my manager told me he's fine me if i came back under 205 lol)
but he is clearly hiding something, everyone can see it. there is a point in denial that once you reach, everyone knows and anything after that point you just look like a jackass.

I don't understand the point of all this hype and crap about steroids. Like it or not, MLB and the players association were too damn stupid to make rules about it until recently and when all of these tests were done there was no rule in the game against them.

Yes, they were illegal the whole time, but the lack of testing and statute of limitations have made the results a pointless waste of time.
