A note about Alex Rodriguez..

When the Mitchell Report came out, the Mariners sent out the list in its entirety to every store and front office employee in the organization (seeing as they had the most players on it) Every player on that list had been investigated for steroid use and had to fail some performance enhancing drug to be on it. Alex Rodriguez was NOT on that list. The list was every player who had failed a drug test from the 90's to the current time. RUSS DAVIS was on that list...he hadnt been a Mariner since 1999. Only players who had circumstantial evidence were named to the media. I find it interesting that this has been "leaked" a mere two weeks before Spring Training and before the Baseball Classic and especially given the Joe Torre scandal. Alex Rodriguez also partcipated in the Baseball Classic in 2004 and all players were tested for steroids. If Alex had taken steroids even in 2003, there would still be reminants left (think Mike Morse!) and given the scandal of which team he would play for... I think that would have been leaked. Until there is solid proof that Alex Rodriguez has taken steroids (and there seems to be none thus far..even in the article) I am supporting him and claiming the motto innocent until proven guilty until he is in fact..proven guilty.
