A-Rod Admits Use


In an interview to air on tonight's 6pm SportsCenter, A-Rod admits to Peter Gammons that he used illegal substances when he was with the Rangers.

"When I arrived in Texas in 2001, I felt an enormous amount of pressure, felt all the weight of the world on top of me to perform, and perform at a high level every day," A-Rod says in the interview.

A-Rod also makes several apologies for his behavior. "I am sorry for my Texas years. I apologize to the fans of Texas."

He tells Gammons that the illegal use ended in 2004, and that it was purely a phenomenon of his Texas days: "all my years in New York have been clean."

Tune in tonight for the full interview.

Like my mom used to say "if everyone was jumping off the Bourne Bridge...would you do it too?".

Same sorry excuse, no surprise there.
