High school teammate, Dodger defends A-Rod

LOS ANGELES – Allegations Alex Rodriguez used steroids in high school are
inaccurate, according to one of Rodriguez’s former teammates at Westminster
Christian High in Miami.


“There’s no way,” Dodgers utilityman Doug Mientkiewicz said. “I was with
him too much, I was with him for too long. Our team was together, like, 20
hours of the day. Every day.”


Mientkiewicz graduated in 1992, a year ahead of Rodriguez. The Warriors won
the Florida state championship and was USA Today’s top-ranked team in
Mientkiewicz’s senior season.


On Thursday, the New York Daily News reported that Selena Roberts’ soon-to-
be-released book would claim Rodriguez used steroids as early as high school.
Mientkiewicz said Rodriguez did indeed put on weight between his sophomore
and junior seasons.


“He also grew two or three inches,” Mientkiewicz said. “You’re talking
about a 15-year-old kid who looked really skinny and scrawny. Then he hit
puberty and he grew into a man. Everybody goes through it. So now every 13-to-
15-year-old kid is going to be accused of this, because he hits puberty?”


Rodriguez admitted in February he was among those who tested positive for
steroids in 2003 and that he’d used steroids from 2001-03, when he played
for the Texas Rangers. Roberts’ book reportedly will allege Rodriguez used
performance-enhancing drugs long before he got to Texas and after he was
traded to the New York Yankees.

“He made his bed and he had to go lay in it,” Mientkiewicz said of
Rodriguez’s admission.

Of the further accusations, however, he said, “I understand the book is
coming out and all. Now we’re going to go back to what he did in high
school? You weren’t there. He was with me in high school. In high school he
was more dedicated than anybody I’d ever seen. Can we move forward please?”


Mientkiewicz said he’d ask the same of former Westminster Christian
teammates.

“If you’re going to say something about it, don’t be a coward,” he said.
“Put your name on it. Face the music.”

Dodgers manager Joe Torre declined to comment on a report that put Rodriguez,
Kevin Brown and human growth hormone in the same place.

“Alex has had a lot of things dumped on him, aside from the injury,” he
said.
