Alex Rodriguez a.k.a A-Rod :)

Alex Rodriguez was an amazing baseball player who was greatly admired for his skill of baseball. He was greatly loved, until he denied using steroids in an interview with 60 minutes. When his fans and team mates found out that he lied, everyone was very disappointed and weren’t sure if he should be excused for the use of drugs, or not.

I would understand if he was under a lot of pressure, and he might need drugs to enhance his performance, he shouldn’t have lied about using the drugs. I believe that it was a mistake for him to use the steroids. He may have been young, and might have thought that it would be right to use the drugs because other baseball players used it, but he should have known better. Everyone makes mistakes, and eventually learns from them. Alex realized his mistake and was truly sorry.

Alex was definitely lacking responsibility by disappointing his team mates and his fans. He should have known that his fans may follow what he was doing. Alex also lacked honesty by lying to everyone and saying that he didn’t do steroids, to everyone who watched the interview on 60 minutes. He didn’t have team work either, or he would’ve known that taking the drugs would be cheating.

Alex did make a mistake, but he was pressured and felt that he should play better, so taking drugs was probably what he thought would be a good option. I would say that Alex is at fault for taking the steroids, but he is truly sorry, and if he is sincere, then he would definitely learn from this mistake and would not disappoint his fans and team mates again.
