The PEDs scandal was the worst thing that happened to Alex Rodriguez. Despite winning everything in baseball, the former Yankees slugger is not in the same company as his Yankee teammate Derek Jeter.

Though A-Rod knew he made the mistake of using PEDs, he decided to fight against Major League Baseball and even his then-current franchise, the Pinstripes.
