New York Daily News reports that Alex Rodriguez must have been using steroids since high school. This practice is believed to have continued even during the time he joined the New York Yankees. These details were based on the book on Alex Rodriguez, written by Selena Roberts.

According to the report published by the New York Daily News, there was a former high school teammate of Alex Rodriguez who confessed that the “slugger” took steroid even before he was drafted as the number 1 pick. This high school teammate did confirm that even their coach at that time knew about it. However, this allegation was initially denied by coach Rich Hoffman.

From Boston.com:

A front-page headline (right) reads, “A-Rod book bombshell” with text below adding, “Slugger may have taken HGH while playing for the Yankees” and, “Hints he took steroids as early as high school days.”

The report indicates that a high school teammate of Rodriguez’s told Roberts that A-Rod took steroids before being drafted as a No. 1 pick and that his high school coach knew it — an allegation the coach, Rich Hoffman, denied.

The book also indicates that two anonymous Yankees said they believed Rodriguez was using banned substances based on visual side effects, which reportedly led to Rodriguez gaining an unflattering nickname that referenced an increased pectoral size comparable to a woman’s chest. The report also notes that a clubhouse staffer suggested management had a suspicion that the third baseman may have been juicing.

The book also illustrates that there are two other Yankees who believed that Rodriguez was using prohibited drugs based on the physical side effects. It also included the statement of one clubhouse staffer who told that Rodriguez may be juicing.

Alex Rodriguez, Yankees third baseman, is currently rehabbing in Phoenix with a private trainer.
