A A-Rod le faltó sinceridad
Vi su declaración a ESPN y una vez más, me costó creerle. Si bien se aplaude el hecho de que haya aceptado que tomó esteroides no me pareció nada sincera su disculpa. Más bien, se ve que lo que lamenta es que esto haya salido a la luz pública y haya empañado su imagen. Fue una disculpa forzada, esa es la sensación que queda.

Vuelvo y repito, le doy el crédito por ser más sincero que Jason Giambi, que se disculpó sin decir por qué, o que Andy Pettitte, quien dijo que sólo se había inyectado una vez. Y mucho más crédito por supuesto que a Barry Bonds y Roger Clemens.
Pero en la entrevista A-Rod pareció tener un guión de lo que iba a decir, y era evidente además que sabía las preguntas de antemano. Hay que recordar que ESPN es socia de Major League Baseball.
Y se notó que A-Rod tenía su libreto preescrito cuando ESPN le pidió que diera algunas de estas declaraciones en español. De acuerdo a ESPN, Rodríguez, quien habla español perfecto como usted o yo, se disculpó y dijo no estar preparado para hacerlo. ¡Por favor!, lo que tenía que hacer era prácticamente traducir lo que dijo, pero no, A-Rod no tenía un libreto para ello, y por ahí es donde la sinceridad se va directo al caño.
¿Te pareció A-Rod sincero en sus declaraciones?

Yo creo que aunque usted se dope, y tome sustancias para mejorar el rendimiento, ha la bola hay que darle duro, sin mencionar que esas sustancias no le dan a un pelotero vista ni tampoco le dan habilidades, no es justificándolo pero hay que recordar también todo lo que hizo Alex Rodríguez antes de llegar a Texas, y todo lo que ha hecho desde que llego a los Yankees. Cometió un error por consumirlas, pero hay que recordar que en ese tiempo no eran sustancias prohibidas por MLB, cada quien tomaba lo que entendía que le haría rendir mejor en el campo de juego, ahora bien, luego de prohibirlas no las ha consumido, ósea que ha acatado las reglas y las ha cumplido, si iban a publicar eso debieron hacerlo en 2003, no ahora en 2009, evidenciando que es para manchar la carrera de Alex Rodríguez.
