Alex Rodriguez admitted in his interview with Peter Gammons that he took steroids. He also discussed Selena Roberts, the Sports Illustrated reporter who broke the news of his positive test, and accused her of "stalking" him.This seemed a touch over the top and such a sentiment was qualified by the police not having any records of trouble between the two. Now, Rodriguez has called Roberts to apologize for his statements toward Roberts, presumably because they were entirely made up.
Roberts, a former Star Tribune reporter who covered the Vikings during the early 1990s, said today that Rodriguez called her last Wednesday. She didn't want to comment on the call until Rodriguez holds a news conference after arriving at spring training Tuesday.That's because she's handling this entire business "professionally." While I'm aware that Rodriguez had a "professional" make-up artist and a "professional" sweater picker-outer for his interview with Gammons, whoever was in charge of that interview probably should have thought out the usage of "stalking" a little more carefully.
Roberts is currently in the process of writing a book about Rodriguez to be published soon, and it would probably behoove him to play as nice with her as possible for the next few months. Oh, and not to lie. That would help too.

Has SI released the names of the other 100+ players whose PED use was discovered--- Or is only A-Rod being written about? He and all baseball players who used PED's have disappointed all baseball fans. I, however, am even more disgusted with reporting that singles out a player.

Wow...a woman in sports who isn't a gold digger, like Cynthia Rodriquez and Juanita Jordan.
Who knew such a person existed?

She was and is stalking him. She is trying and going to make money off of him, and I am sure she was hounding him every step of they way. Stalking just means a person is a reporter or someone from the hounding press that has to butt into everyones life, and write anything they can to create a story, and then make sure no person or the public can ever forget anything. The lady is worthless and a disgrace, as all reporters are.

A-Fraud will get off. He is god. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Here we go again. I just hope that whatever his records end up being that they don't stand. But since he is god (there i go again making myself laugh) they will let him into the hall of fame. I guess the saying is right. Everyone has a price. Gee lets try to get the focus off me by saying that someone is stalking me. I think he is just upset because Madonna was seen with another man. Don't worry A-Fraud she will be back for you when she is finished with him.
