New A-Rod book full of assumptions, not enough facts

Yesterday Sports Illustrated writer Selena Roberts released her book titled "A-Rod: The Many Lives of Alex Rodriguez" that claimed that Alex Rodriguez did not only use steroids when he was with the Texas Rangers like he said he did. In Roberts' book she leads the reader to believe that Alex Rodriguez did steroids as early as high school. It also suggests that Rodriguez may have been tipping pitches to other players, even players not on his team. A-Rod has denied that any of these accusations from Roberts' book are true and remains firm on his statement that he only did steroids during his time with the Texas Rangers.

New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi has shown his support for A-Rod by questioning the accusations in the book and calling for more evidence to those accusations. Girardi is clearly not a big fan of Selena Roberts and has repeatedly shown that in reports by questioning the reasoning for her writing the book.

"I think sometimes things are written about that none of us are proud of,"
Girardi said. "There's things in my life that I'm not proud of that I've done.I wouldn't want my kids to have to deal with that. You know, I tell my
kids that daddy makes mistakes, I do. And I apologize for them. I saw
daddy's not perfect. It's not necessarily something that I would want them
to read about all the time, to be the focus. I'm just saying he wants to be
a father too."

As for A-Rod, he is currently working on rehabbing his hip that he had surgery on this summer to repair a cyst. He is hoping to return to the Yankees on Friday against the Baltimore Orioles. This would be much earlier than his originally expected return that was on May 15th. A-Rod has refused to comment on the book and continues to deny ever using steroids any other time in his life besides the period with the Texas Rangers that he has already confessed to.
