A-Rod #2

As I get further into this story of Alex Rodriguez's life and all the controversy surrounding his rise to stardom the question of steroid use seems to becoming more prevalent. This was all taking place right in the heart of the steroid era in major league baseball. Late 90's to the early 21st century it was starting to become certain that they had to do something to stop it. Alex fell into this category of so called "sluggers" who were putting up huge numbers with an uncommon amount of home runs well keeping this up throughout the lengthy 162 game season. Almost all these players it would later be found out were on some sort of performance enhancing drug although it was pretty obvious at the time. The players association though did not want to make it known because they thought it would hurt baseball by getting rid of these almost superhuman "sluggers." Although Alex was viewed through the public eye as a clean player the evidence at the time was so obvious I am surprised no one caught it, or in the good chance that they did, why didn't anyone speak up. It was really just a reflection of the times where there were strict laws on doping in sport such as the Olympics, and on the world stage. Well in professional league sport it might not have been accepted, but there certainly wasn't the same attention around it.
