Alex Rodriguez says his record contract makes him an attractive target for a baseball ban or suspension, and may play a major role in his current woes.

    This is really getting ridiculous! So what if he took PEDs, his JOB is based on his performance and if thats what it takes then big fat furry deal. Its not any different then men taking viagra.

    I wonder how his record would be if he hadn't taken PED's? Would his ego be as large?

    It makes you wonder how many athletes are really on PEDs, because unless you are very naïve you have to assume he is NOT the only one.
