TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Alex Rodriguez reported to the New York Yankees three days ahead of schedule. He spoke for 8 1/2 minutes about his season-long drug suspension. But on his first day back with the team since September 2013, he never said why he resumed the use of performance-enhancing drugs, never explained what he did and avoided getting into any specifics. New York asked him to hold a pre-spring training news conference at Yankee Stadium, but Rodriguez declined. The Yankees told them they didn't want him holding one at Steinbrenner Field, where they felt it would be a distraction. So Rodriguez improvised. [More] Source: sports.yahoo.com
One peaceful year without hearing a peep about this slug. I hope MLB does a random drug test and he fails. Nothing but a lifetime ban is punishment enough.
