Selena Roberts was one of the authors of the Sports Illustrated outing A-roid article. He wasn't exactly pleased. And being the upstanding man of integrity who kids can look up to, he said this to Peter Gammons during his come to Jesus 2-9-09 interview. (see link below)
A-ROID: Prior to Texas, I really had -- at that time in Seattle, I had never even heard of a player taking a substance, a steroid of any kind in my Seattle days. I mean, I know this lady from Sports Illustrated, Selena Roberts, is trying to throw things out there that in high school I tried steroids. I mean, that's the biggest bunch of baloney I've ever heard in my life.
What makes me upset is that Sports Illustrated pays this lady, Selena Roberts, to stalk me. This lady has been thrown out of my apartment in New York City. This lady has five days ago just been thrown out of the University of Miami by police for trespassing. And four days ago, she tried to break into my house where my girls are up there sleeping, and got cited by the Miami Beach police. I have the paper here.
This lady is coming out with all these allegations, all these lies, because she's writing an article for Sports Illustrated and she's coming out with a book in May. Really respectable journalists are following this lady off the cliff and following her lead. And that, to me, is unfortunate.
That my friends is worse than being a liar and a cheater. But he apologized so it's ok.
She is scheduled to release her book: "A-Rod: The Many Lives of Alex Rodriguez" on April 14. What's he going to say about the sexual liaisons?
