Alex Rodriguez Positive Test Result for Testosterone and Methenolone in 2003
[February 9th, 2009] by Millard Baker
Major League Baseball’s highest paid player allegedly tested positive for anabolic steroids during the 2003 baseball season. Alex Rodriguez, the American League’s Most Valuable Player in 2003 for the Texas Rangers, tested positive for testosterone and methenolone according to a report by Sports Illustrated (SI) reporters Selena Roberts and David Epstein. Sources citing the results from MLB’s anonymous and non-disciplinary steroid testing results have identified A-Rod as one of 104 players to fail the test (”Sources tell SI Alex Rodriguez tested positive for steroids in 2003,” February 7).
Rodriguez’s name appears on a list of 104 players who tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in Major League Baseball’s ‘03 survey testing, SI’s sources say. As part of a joint agreement with the MLB Players Association, the testing was conducted to determine if it was necessary to impose mandatory random drug testing across the major leagues in 2004.
The MLB list was seized by the federal agents during a raid of Comprehensive Drug Testing Incorporated (CDT) as part of the investigation into the distribution of performance-enhancing drugs by the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative (BALCO) to MLB players.
