Yankee Alex Rodriguez Silent on Latest Allegations
NEW YORK (AP) -- Alex Rodriguez won't talk about the latest allegations that he may have used steroids when he was a highly touted high school player and performance-enhancers while playing for the New York Yankees.
Rodriguez says ``I'm not going there,'' when asked to comment on the report in Thursday's Daily News, which quoted excerpts from an upcoming book on Rodriguez by Sports Illustrated writer Selena Roberts.
The book offers an unflattering portrait of the MVP slugger as a needy personality who wanted his ego stroked constantly, according to the Daily News.
Rodriguez made his comments after playing an intrasquad game in Tampa, Fla., as he recovers from a hip injury.
