Alex "A-ROD" rodriguez is a phe-nomenal baseball player. He is the youngest person ever to have hit 500 home runs, and is reckoned to have a chance of breaking the all-time record for them, which stands at 762. His ten-year, $275m contract is the most expensive ever signed in the sport. But on February 7th Sports Illustrated revealed that he had tested positive for steroids. The test, back in 2003, was conducted by Major League Baseball in a survey designed to judge the extent of performance-enhancing drugs and to see if mandatory drug-testing was needed. It dearly was: more than 100 players tested positive. Mr Rodriguez admitted using "boli", the street name for the steroid Primobolan, between 2001 and 2003. Bud Selig, baseball's commissioner, says the slugger has shamed the game.
