A-Rod please say it ain't so

According to a report posted on Sports Illustrated Alex Rodriguez tested positive to anabolic steroids in 2003, the year he won AL MVP while playing for the Rangers. We all know the Barry Bonds' case has been beaten to death and this was the last thing that the MLB needed. The report says that there is no punishment for testing positive in 2003, consequences only started to follow positive test results in 2004. Which would mean that even if A-Rod is proven to have taken steroids in 2003, he would not be subject to any discipline. Would it still effect his career? No doubt, and who is to say that he has been clean since then.

I never liked Barry Bonds, I always thought he was an idiot. I did not mind seeing him get busted, but A-Rod has always seamed like such a good guy. It's a shame to see another great career that may be marked with an asterisk.
