Alex Rodriguez has continued to deny publicly that he used performance enhancing drugs, unfortunately he already admitted it to a much higher power than MLB.

The New York Yankees missed the postseason in 2014 and they spent the entire year without one of their biggest assets, that is if you consider the price tag put on him. Alex Rodriguez is now fully reinstated by Major League Baseball, but that doesn’t change the fact that he cheated the game.

Although Rodriguez continues to deny that he ever use any sort of performance enhancing drug, and continued to throw a public tantrum playing the victim card in the face of Major League Baseball, the narrative is much different.

On Wednesday morning, the Miami Herald reported that Alex Rodriguez did in fact admit to everything he did. The article states:

"Yes, he bought performance-enhancing drugs from Biogenesis of America, paying roughly $12,000 a month to Anthony Bosch, the fake doctor who owned the clinic. Yes, Bosch gave him pre-filled syringes for hormone injections into the ballplayer’s stomach, and even drew blood from him in the men’s room of a South Beach nightclub. And yes, the ballplayer’s cousin, Yuri Sucart, was his steroid go-fer."

The meeting between the federal agents and Rodriguez took place on January 29, 2014. The Miami Herald was able to review all 15 pages of documents that came out of that meeting.

On January 11, 2014, Alex Rodriguez had just been granted a reduced punishment by an arbitrator, and he said “I have been clear that I did not use performance-enhancing substances … and in order to prove it, I will take this fight to federal court.” Just 18 days later, he gave a sworn statement to federal agents, noting the exact opposite.

People continue to fall left and right around Rodriguez. Anthony Bosch has already plead guilty, while Rodriguez’s cousin Sucart plans on going to trial. While they all go down, Rodriguez is set to return to the Yankees, collect his paychecks from New York, and continue on with his baseball career.

It has been known by baseball fans for years that Alex Rodriguez cheated the game. His denial and public pity party only continues to tarnish whatever respect was left for his public image.
