"He alleges that MLB and Selig "engaged in
tortious and egregious conduct with one and only one goal ... to destroy the
reputation and career of Alex Rodriguez." Rodriguez tries to justify his
reasoning behind them trying to ruin his reputation by saying they were not
being confidential about the case. It seems as though he was trying to distract
from the fact that he was using drugs and team up against MLB. He was probably
trying to make him have more time, to get justice and get out of what he did
wrong, which is childish. His actions
are making him seem ridiculous and not making him look any better than
MLB. This case is being dragged out for
no apparent reason in my mind.
“There are accusations that a
representative of MLB purchased stolen documents for $150,000 in cash,
documents presumably that would document Rodriguez's use of performance
enhancing drugs. In addition, the document says the same MLB representative
engaged in an inappropriate sexual relationship with a witness in the case
against Rodriguez.” All this information has nothing to do with the actual case
at hand, maybe the representative did purchase stolen documents but that was
all to find out if Rodriguez was using drugs. It may be bad but if it helps the
case, then why shouldn’t MLB use it against him. He clearly is bringing stuff
like this up to get them in trouble and distract everyone from the bad he is
doing. The MLB is just trying to figure out the facts about something a player
is doing and the player is using anything he can to make MLB look bad.
"While we vehemently deny the
allegations in the complaint, none of those allegations is relevant to the real
issue: whether Mr. Rodriguez violated the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment
Program by using and possessing numerous forms of prohibited performance-enhancing
substances, including testosterone and human growth hormone, over the course of
multiple years and whether he violated the Basic Agreement by attempting to
cover up his violations of the program by engaging in a course of conduct
intended to obstruct and frustrate the Office of the Commissioner's
investigation." It seems as though they are admitting to trying to take
down Mr. Rodriguez but even if so he still has done something wrong in his
agreement with MLB. It says in the statement that he violated the basic
agreement by trying to cover up what he’s guilty for but putting more stress on
others to distract them from the issue at hand. Many other players that
violated the rules and regulations that they agreed upon following didn’t drag
it out like Rodriguez. In return his
suspension lasted a lot longer than the suspension of other players who just
agreed with the suspension and didn’t argue and try to make the MLB look
bad. Hopefully he will learn not to
fight the consequences of his actions.
