A-Rod Not Lying (About Two Things, At Least)

Feb 19, 2009, 3:47 PM UTC

You may not believe all, or most, of what Alex Rodriguez had to say in his press conference this week about his past steroid use. But he was certainly telling the truth about one thing: you can get the ‘roids over-the-counter in the Dominican. To prove this, the NY Daily News paid to send a reporter all the way down there. â†µâ†µThe results: Yep, you can get ‘em quick and easy. Fascinating developments from the “DAILY NEWS SPORTS I-TEAM!”:â†µ

â†µâ†µâ‡¥No prescription? No sweat. â†µâ‡¥â†µâ‡¥All that was required was my first name. â†µâ‡¥
â†µâ‡¥â†µâ‡¥The transaction took less than two minutes. The pharmacist handed over one 100 mg ampule of testosterone enanthate, a 2.5 ml. syringe and a package of 10 Methandrostenolone pills, the powerful oral anabolic steroid known as Dianabol. â†µâ‡¥

â†µâ†µThe total cost was 674 pesos. That’s just 19 bucks to you, American. The reporter failed to locate any Boli, or Primobolan, the specific steroid A-Rod said his cousin purchased for him in the DR.â†µâ†µSpeaking of the cousin, ESPN tracked him down, too. So there’s another thing A-Rod wasn’t lying about; he does actually have a cousin. Next thing you know, we’re going to discover that in his culture, 27 is actually considered to still be very young and very dumb. â†µ
