Sports Illustrated is reporting today that Alex Rodriguez, New York Yankees Third baseman, allegedly was caught using steroids back in 2003 – a year in which he won a MVP while with the Texas Rangers.

As a baseball fan, it makes me angry that Major League Baseball and the players’ union allowed this type of cheating for so long. McGuire, Sosa, Bonds, Giambi, et. al., disgraced the sport with their rampant use of illegal substances, but it is the ownership and the union who allowed it to continue as long as the money was flowing in.

But today’s news pushes me over the edge. To have  another top player get caught lying (or not telling the truth and coming clean when asked, take your pick of excuses), sours me on the game.

Who would have thought that the steroid king, Jose Canseco, was right all along?
