A-Rod stated:“The news report about a purported relationship between Alex Rodriguez and Anthony Bosch are not true. Alex Rodriguez was not Mr. Bosch’s patient, he was never treated by him and he was never advised by him. …”

It would be impossible to not have a “relationship”, .. be a “patient” or be “treated” by a Doctor and receive HGH in any form.

In a way I feel bad for A-Rod. I find these accusation a little far fetched considering his past and how bad he’d look if it was confirmed that he took PEDs again, .. or in fact never stopped. He’d have to be the dumbest SOB on plant to risk getting caught again. And, likely he could have gone to the DR and got the same treatment and with out risking a DEA investigation. MLB can only suspend him, .. if he lies to the DEA and gets caught that a felony, .. or at a minimum he goes through with what Clemens and Bond went through. Years in the courts and millions on attorneys.

In the end, however, he’s nobody to blame but himself. Had he never taken PEDs in the first place he could have saved himself a lot of grief.

A-Rod wouldn’t lie about this.

Most Yankee fans never liked the guy in the first place, so he really doesn’t have much farther to fall in their eyes.

Cayman Islands Bank Manager: [chuckles] I’m sorry, I can’t disclose any information about that customer’s secret, illegal account.
[hangs up]
Oh, crap. I shouldn’t have said he was a customer… Oh, crap. I shouldn’t have said it was a secret… Oh, crap! I *certainly* shouldn’t have said it was illegal!
[sits back, fanning himself]
Ah, it’s too hot here.

I didn’t realise people still kept written notebooks like that, but the way this is presented leads you to think Mr. Bosch expected to need to use this information at some point in the time – if it’s genuine I’d expect there to be more evidence than a bit of scribbled homework notes given what’s potentially at stake.

But until then lets just assume he is guilty based on past experiences and ignore everything else.
