A doctor who disputed the interpretation of an MRI showing that New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez had a quad strain was previously reprimanded by the state of New Jersey in February for not properly supervising an unlicensed employee. As part of the report filed by the state's attorney general, Dr. Michael Gross failed to "adequately ensure proper patient treatment involving the prescribing of hormones, including steroids" at the Acting Center for Health & Wellness. "These were not anabolic steroids," Gross told ESPN New York on Wednesday night. "They weren't that stuff. We weren't treating athletes. Steroids are not illegal. They are banned in professional sports, but we weren't treating those people. We were treating people with a medical problem -- low testosterone or menopause." SNY first reported that Gross was reprimanded by the state of New Jersey. Gross said he never has met Rodriguez in person. But on Wednesday, with Rodriguez's permission, Gross went on an extensive media tour, declaring that an MRI did not show a quad strain. Yankees team doctor Chris Ahmad had diagnosed Rodriguez with a Grade 1 strain. Rodriguez is expected to be out for at least two weeks. Source: ESPN New York
