Alex Rodriguez believes Yankees and MLB are behind PED controversy, says report [View all]

Anonymous sources have made some very strong claims to the New York Daily News about what they say are A-Rod's beliefs regarding the latest steroids allegations.
Alex Rodriguez is allegedly concerned that the latest steroid allegations are a conspiracy designed by "bigger forces" to push him out of baseball, sources have told Teri Thompson, Michael O'Keefe, and Christian Red of the New York Daily News.

Forget a grain of salt, these latest A-Rod allegations need to be taken with an entire shaker. Perhaps a large box. I understand that sensationalism tends to follow Rodriguez wherever he goes, but this story reads like something else entirely:

Sources say the embattled Yankee star is "scared" that bigger forces are at work to try to discredit him and sink his career. Holed up in Miami, Rodriguez has been huddling with an army of lawyers and PR people as the performance-enhancing drug scandal enveloping him intensifies.

IF this is true, all I can say is ARod really is a dumbass.
