That has been the popular refrain over the last few days among those questioning Alex Rodriguez’s claim that he did not know what he was taking. “A world class athlete, a work out freak, he must know everything that enters his body.” Not so, says Buster Olney:

Seriously though — reporters can’t get enough
Let’s talk about youthful indiscretion. Jon Heyman and Ben Reiter of SI don’t buy Alex Rodriguez’s notion that he was “young and dumb.” They think he’s trying to blame the steroid use on his age and immaturity rather than fess up and say, “I wanted [...]

According to ESPN, Rodriguez admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs beginning in 2001 but said he has not used them since 2003, his final year with the Texas Rangers. The full interview is set to air at 6:00 p.m. with several television teasers slated throughout the day.
