Alex Rodriguez admits his response to PED scandal made him look foolish

Alex Rodriguez

Alex Rodriguez had rather harsh criticism over how his PED scandals went down, and it was aimed entirely at himself.

Rodriguez addressed a group of University of Miami students at a Thursday luncheon, where he admitted that his conduct during and after his 2013 PED scandal and eventual suspension was rather embarrassing.

“I think just being a big jerk, you know?” Rodriguez said, via Jim Berry of CBS Miami. “I was just a really big jerk.”

Rodriguez had even harsher words for himself when recounting his denials of PED use.

“I made mistakes and then I doubled down and became a bigger jerk and then went on sports radio and made an ass of myself,” Rodriguez said.

This isn’t the first time Rodriguez has admitted his conduct was terrible. At least he knows it now, not that it makes him look any better in retrospect.
