Karma's a bitch...

Well, it had come to light that Alex Rodriguez failed not one but two drug tests for anabolic steroids in 2003.  The same year he won the AL MVP award and the Home Run Title in his final season with the Texas Rangers.  It was hushed up then and now Sports Illustrated has brought it to light.  It was only a few days after the Mitchell Report came out that A-Fraud said in an interview on CBS' 60 Minutes that he's "never needed to use performance enhancing drug because he's never felt outmatched on the field."  When he was contacted for comment he now says that he's not saying anything and to talk to the Players Union concerning the allegations.  

So, now what?  Since this occurred 6 years ago there's nothing they can do to him but I feel the punishment will be a long and slow one.  The kid they tagged as "the best their is, was and ever will be" is not looking so golden anymore.  Any records he breaks or any accolades he receives will come with a lot of scrutiny from not only his peers but most importantly the fans of the game.  We are no longer in an era that "pure" ball players come to our cities and teams to play this Countries all time favorite game on an even playing field.
