Video: Chilling Interview Sees a Young Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez Caught in a Lie for Two Minutes Straight Over PEDs Issue: ‘I Never Felt Over-Matched on the Baseball Field..’

The Yankees legend, Alex Rodriguez, has done so much good over the years. But now and then, his name comes up in yet another controversy. This time, an old video of a young A-Rod has resurfaced. In which, he is telling a lie during the PEDs investigation era in baseball. 

Being one of the elite players in Major League Baseball, A-Rod has achieved multiple awards, including Hank Aaron Award, The Babe Ruth Award, and many others.

Did Alex Rodriguez admit to taking PEDs?

In 2009, a list came up on Sports Illustrated listing 104 players of Major League Baseball. The list included the names of the players who tested positive for using banned substances in 2003. And Alex‘s name was also on that list.

After about 48 hours of the list coming up came up, the former baseball player admitted to taking Performance-Enhancing substances. He has said, “I did take a banned substance. And for that, I am very sorry and deeply regretful.”

However, around two years prior to his admitting to having taken a banned substance, in the interview, he said that he had never taken any kind of drug and that he was never tempted to use either. This interview happened during the time there was an investigation going on, on the players by former Senator, George J. Mitchell.

In the interview, he can be seen saying, “I’ve never felt over-matched on the baseball field. I’ve always been in a dominant position, and I felt that if I did my work since I’ve done, since I was a rookie back in Seattle, I didn’t have a problem competing at any level.”

Before saying this, he simply said, “No“, when asked if he had ever taken steroids, performance-enhancing drugs, or any other banned substance. 

What is A-Rod up to these days?

A-Rod was last seen with his daughter at the Yankees vs Mariners match. Where apparently his rumored fling, Kathryne Padgett was also present.

The former baseball player was asked to work as a television narrator and presenter for ESPN throughout this year’s MLB season. In 1996, A-Rod founded the company, A-Rod Corp, and started making investments in 2003. The company since then has invested in multiple areas including wellness, real estate, and the entertainment industry.

He is also the chairman of Presidente, a Dominican Beer company. In addition to all this, he is also a part owner of the NBA’s team, the Minnesota Timberwolves.
