Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez has entertained people for an era in Major League Baseball. Having played for over 20 years of professional baseball, the former New York Yankees star was one of the cleanest hitters in the game. During his two-decade-long baseball career, A-Rod won it all. However, the former Yankee also made a huge mistake in his professional career, and he always regrets doing it.
Notably, A-Rod faced a two-year ban from MLB when he was found guilty of using PEDs (Performance-enhancing drugs) during his playing days. Had he played those two years in MLB, A-Rod would have probably created multiple other records. But his mistake cost him losing two precious years of his professional career.

“Just to make it clear, PED does not have to be a steroid. There is a larger category of things… That’s a whole lot of science class.
