Alex Rodriguez has admitted using performance-enhancing drugs. He regrets it. William Saletan at Slate wonders what else don’t we know?

His name is on the list of flunked players. As today’s New York Times explains, “the players had agreed to the 2003 tests under the condition that their results would never be revealed.” How many other tests have been taken and flunked but, under rules dictated by the players, never disclosed to the public?

Second: The Major League Baseball Players Association could have destroyed the results—and is now being denounced by baseball officials and pundits for not doing so.

How many test results has the players association destroyed?

Third: These results ended up in the government’s hands through a bizarre series of legal flukes and errors.

How many other positive test results are still out there, unknown to the government?

Fourth: The players association is asking courts to suppress the list on which Rodriguez appeared and is threatening legal consequences for anyone who even talks about it.

How many other lists have been obtained by the government but successfully suppressed?

Read on for 5, 6, 7 & 8! Also in Slate, nobody liked him before the steroids, nobody likes him now. “Our finest sports pundits have presented an implausible emotion: sadness.”

Peter Catapano points to the New York Post’s Back Page blog, “Will A-Rod take the Yanks down with him?” And Geoff Baker at The Seattle Times’s Mariners blog, “This might be the worst scandal in the history of sports.”

And Andy Towle points to Outsports talk of a book coming out in May that tackles is A-Rod’s sexuality. He goes on:

Bob’s Blitz, a sports gossip blog, reports: “The Blitz has learned Hit and Run: The Many Lives of Alex Rodriguez by Selena Roberts will be out May 19, 2009 – exactly one week before the Yanks head to…Texas to play the Rangers. It is rumored that the book may take a look at A-rod’s struggle with his sexuality as well as his steroid use. The NY Daily News once had a curious quote, “A petite stripper at the Hustler Club said A-Rod ‘likes the she-male, muscular type. They brought me up to the champagne room one time. I spun around once and that was it. I’m not his type.'”

Curious indeed.
