For years it has seemed like New York’s biggest complaint about Alex Rodriguez is that he isn’t Derek Jeter. It never mattered what A-Rod did, it didn’t live up to what Jeter has already accomplished. In light of yesterday’s revelations, A-Rod can only hope he returns to a world where measuring up to Jeter is his biggest problem. The story seems unimpeachable and the charge is sensational: A-Rod failed a steroid test in 2003.
Making The Call: Speak Up A-Rod!
If It's Baseball Season, It's A-Rod Season
Alex Rodriguez has a permanent residence in the spotlight. His contract and tendency to put his foot in his mouth both have something to do with it.

Clemens May Face Investigation from Justice Dept.
It looks like Roger Clemens didn’t convince any Democrats with his testimony in front of Congress February 13th. According to anonymous sources, a letter to the Justice Department has been drafted asking the it to investigate whether Clemens, and not McNamee, committed perjury during hearings in front of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

One of the key factors in Roger Clemens condemnation of the Mitchell Report and the testimony of his former trainer Brian McNamee is the pitcher's assertion that he never attended a birthday at Jose Canseco's Florida home ten years ago.

Clemens vs. McNamee - Round 1
After a morning of denials and denouncements at a hearing in front of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform one thing is clear, Brian McNamee and Roger Clemens deserve each other. As Chairman, Henry Waxman, made clear at the start of the proceedings this morning one of them is lying and based on the testimony so far it seems like Clemens is.
A-Rod Says He is Clean
Alex Rodriguez went on 60 Minutes last night and firmly denied that he used steroids. When asked if he had ever used steroids, HGH or any other performance-enhancing drug A-Rod firmly stated “no” and then explained, "I've never felt overmatched on the baseball field.

So, no.”
Jose Canseco Claims He Has Juice on A-Rod

In an interview Friday with Boston radio station WEEI, the former Oakland A's slugger and former Yankee said that he had the "other stuff on Alex Rodriguez," and that he plans on laying out the details in a book he's shopping to publishers now. When the radio-host asked if A-Rod was on steroids, Canseco said "Wait and see."
