The continuing saga of Alex Rodriguez took another turn yesterday as the once highly respected slugger took the stage to answer the media's questions regarding his use of performance-enhancing drugs. Rodriguez tried his best to save face during a grueling media session, but initial indications reveal Rodriguez has gained an even more unfavorable following, despite his attempts to salvage his image. Rodriguez's ordeal began last week after he admitted he had used two different steroids when he played for the Texas Rangers and admitted that he lied when he was asked about this when interviewed by Katie Couric. Rodriguez also explained that his accusations that Selena Roberts, the Sports Illustrated reporter who broke the story, had been "stalking" the star, were just a mere misunderstanding on his part. During his press conference, Rodriguez explained that he was "naive and stupid" when he decided to take the drugs and that it was an unidentified cousin who injected him with a substance purchased in the DR, known as "boli." A-rod says that his cousin would inject him twice a month. But there were many holes in A-rod's confession. Trying to soften the blow Rodriguez said he didn't know what he was being injected with and that he wasn't even sure he had done it right, or if it was working. Rodriguez faced his Yankee teammates, who were there for support, and offered them an apology as well as one to his fans.
