A-Rod In The Hot Seat

NEW YORK (AP) - Sports Illustrated is reporting that Alex
Rodriguez tested positive for steroids in 2003.
The magazine says in a story posted on its Web site that the New
York Yankees star tested positive for two anabolic steroids. SI
cited four unidentified sources.
SI reports that Rodriguez's name appears on a list of 104
players who tested positive for performance-enhancers in a 2003
baseball survey.
Rodriguez declined to discuss the tests when approached by SI on
Thursday at a Miami gym. He told a reporter to speak to the
players' union. Calls from SI to union head Donald Fehr were
not returned.
Rodriguez played for the Texas Rangers in 2003, when he won the
AL home run title and MVP award. He was traded to the Yankees in
2004.
Baseball's drug policy has prohibited the use of steroids
without a valid prescription since 1991, but there were no
penalties for a positive test in 2003.
