Bruney Backs A-Rod
Via Mark Feinsand -
While the team’s front office had nothing to say about Sports Illustrated’s report that A-Rod failed a drug test in 2003, Yankees reliever Brian Bruney threw all of his support behind his teammate.
“We’re all very supportive of all our teammates,” Bruney said. “Alex has no reason to do anything like that. I’ve seen firsthand – as I’m sure everyone has – how hard Alex works. I don’t believe it. That’s where I stand. I honestly don’t believe it.”
“It’s unfortunate that something like this comes out with no backbone on it,” Bruney said. “Alex, honestly, is the hardest worker I’ve ever seen in any sport. It’s pretty impressive to see how he works and takes care of himself, what he eats. He’s kind of like a robot. He already is the best player to ever play this game, in my opinion, and he would have no reason to do anything like that.”
“In the clubhouse, we all love Alex and we support everything he does,” Bruney said. “I know I’m glad he’s on my team, that’s for sure.”

Isn’t that what everyone used to say in defense of Barry Bonds?

Well, they definately said that about Clemens. Of course, steroids only work if the user hits the weight room hard.
Which also makes me question the Rangers trainer or clubhouse attendant who said he believed Rod took steroids because the production on the field didn’t match his ‘lack of work’ in the weight room.

And unless those other 103 names are released every time you hear about some superstar’s rigorous work-out regimen you’re going to think “yeah, riiiiiight.”
lol isn’t one of the benefits of PEDs that you CAN workout longer and harder?
Nice to see Bruney get Arods back..god forbid we have some team unity while we go for 27. Lets hope more follow suit!

Good call, mate it’s about time had Aroid’s bloody back. Now let’s see if St Derek is the spineless politically correct jellyfish, I think he really is……..

As much of a mess Aroid is, even Torre defends his work ethic in his Benedict Arnold tome.Sat what you want about Roidriguez, BUT he works his but off. As far as I remember, Barroid was the one who used that stupid excuse over and over again BUT according to Kay and Co even Afrod took Melky and Cano under his wing. That might be a bad thing considering what has happened to Cano and the Melkman!
