This Sunday, December 16th at 7:00 PM, A-Rod will be on 60 Minutes with Katie Couric.
CBS) While former player and admitted steroid user Jose Canseco was saying the Mitchell Report was "laughable" because it did notaccuse Alex Rodriguez of using steroids, Rodriguez was telling Katie Couric he has never used them and has been tested numerous times for them.
Asked by Couric whether he has ever used steroids, human growth hormone or any other performance-enhancing substance, "No," says Rodriguez. He gavethe same answer to Couric's follow-up on whether he had ever been tempted to use them.
Replying to former Sen. George Mitchell's statement yesterday that his report should be a call to action for baseball fans, Rodriguez says, "I thinkbaseball's done a fine job of implementing some very strict rules. I mean, I got tested eight or nine times. I know some of my teammates got tested, youknow, seven, eight…times," he tells Couric. "And, you know, if you think about where the game is today versus where it was six years ago, I thinkmajor league baseball has made some nice strides."
The all-star slugger also talks about his career, his awkward negotiations before re-signing with the Yankees and his life with his wife, Cynthia, who alsoappears in the interview.
