A-Rod Admits 'I Was Stupid' to Use Steroids

Yankee slugger and Madonna pal Alex Rodriguez  admits he used banned performance-enhancing substances from 2001-2003 to justify his 10-year, $252 million contract with the Texas Rangers, according to ESPN. The confession is in response to a new Sports Illustrated report that claimed the 33-year-old All-Star third baseman tested positive for steroids -- Primobolan and testosterone -- in a drug test in '03. In a 2007 interview with CBS's "60 Minutes," Rodriguez denied he had ever taken steroids. "I wasn't even being truthful with myself," Rodriguez tells ESPN. "Today, I'm here to tell the truth." (link)
