Major League Baseball's most prolific star has just admitted to using performance-enhancing substances. Alex Rodriguez, the New York Yankees' third baseman, came clean after an online article from Sports Illustrated said Rodriguez tested positive in an anonymous drug test in 2003. The test was performed in order to see if rules should be put in place to restrict the use of steroids, HGH, and other performance enhancers. Rodriguez explains he took the substances from 2001-03 due to pressure after signing with the Texas Rangers. In 2003 he won the AL MVP award after hitting .298 with 47 home runs and 118 RBI's. He has collected 553 total homers in his career with Seattle, Texas, and New York. In 2003 there were no official rules against the use of performance enhancers, and so Rodriguez will not be punished.
