We wake up to find that Alex Rodriguez may have used steroids as a high schooler and teammates suspected him of using when he was with the Yankees.
This according to A-Rod, The Many Lives of Alex Rodriguez, the new book by Sports Illustrated's Selena Roberts.
The book, to be released May 12, relies on unnamed sources concerning A-Rod's steroid use with New York.
As for his use in high school, Roberts writes that the Yankee infielder put on 25 pounds of muscle between his sophomore and junior years and quotes a teammate saying the son of the coach saw A-Rod using.
Rodriguez has admitted to trying steroids while he played in Texas but said that was the only time. Roberts is the reporter who broke the story that A-Rod flunked a steroid test in 2003.
The book quotes an unnamed player saying Rodriguez and pitcher Kevin Brown were seen with HGH in 2004. Brown, named in in the Mitchell Report, denies that he and Rodriguez shared HGH.
The book, which also details Rodriguez's divorce and friendship with Madonna. It also contains reports that in blow-out games Rodriguez would sometimes tip off pitches to friends on opposing teams and expected reciprocity.
