So what were the multiple times?

your right he was only "caught this 1 time" and there have been many others who were caught more and received less and many more than that who were never caught.

No one knows the evidence from the arbitration; however, ARod didn't release the written decision for a reason--because it buries him. Major obstruction of the MLB probe and great efforts to circumvent the drug testing policy. And the evidence was irrefutable that he used PEDs.

Absolutely!

Poor A Rod, he's getting such a raw deal.

Keep in mind when trashing ARod for obstruction that MLB did the exact same thing - only they obstructed a federal criminal investigation and not just an investigation of an employee.

Which federal criminal investigation was that? I must have missed that.

I was just watching the 60 Minutes segment on this matter. All I can say is there are unsavory characters on each side of this matter.

I watched it too. All I can say is WOW!!! Death threats? Justifying giving A-Fraud PEDS as doing nothing wrong under the belief that other players are juicying and if you're going to juice, you need to do it right? Both surround themselves with convicted criminals? Offering to pay and hide Bosch in Colombia to obstruct justice? The volumes of text messages is very damaging and indefensible. What a pair of sociopaths. They deserved each other and both should be in jail.

Was also kind of difficult listening to his lawyer claim that MLB gave Bosch immunity in a federal criminal investigation. I wasn't aware that MLB is also the Department of Justice.

I always find it funny when A Fraud, his attorneys and supporters say you can't trust a guy like Bosch because he is a known liar.

Well, Mr. Rodriguez, what about all of the times you were asked if you had EVER used PED's and you always said no? Didn't you do an interview on 60 Minutes and when asked, you looked straight into the camera and said you never did PED's?

Of course, when your big dollar, long term contract's out clause came up, you opted out and then got a bigger dollar, longer term contract. What happened then? You admitted you had, in fact, used PED's but it was only after receiving your first contract and before PED use was banned in MLB.

How convenient.

Why doesn't a reporter ask A Fruad, his attorney's and his supporters about that and ask why people should trust A Fraud?

Why don't reporters ask if there is no evidnece to connect A Fraud to Bio Genesis and PED's and that he is/was clean and Bosch is a liar then why OTHER MLB players connected to Bio Genesis accepted their suspensions? Why did they do this? Are they in on the conspiracy to bring A Fraud down also?
