Don't Know What to Think of A-Rod???????????

I'm extremely confused right now. I don't know what to think about this A-Rod situation. Today, he came out and admitted to steroid use from 2001 to 2003 with the Rangers. He apparently knew, although he said he only thought maybe, that he failed a substance test in 2003. He's had 6 years to come clean but he apparently thought the genious that runs Major League Baseball, would keep it a secret. He thought wrong.

Now what? A-Rod said he's been clean since 2003. He's got 9 more years on his contract. He better be great in those 9 years. It seems that the possibility that he'll never see the Hall or be "Barry Bonds" disliked has crept into his mind. If he's great and wins multiple World Series in that span of time, is it possible he gets in? If baseball cleans it's image and the other 104 players come out in the open and own up to the use, maybe people will go easier on A-Rod. A-Rod problem partly, is he's already disliked throughout baseball by fans and apparently teammates and managers too. Can he ever regain the image of a great player or will the stigma of cheating stay with him for the rest of his life?

All I do know is, my son's hero has fallen from grace and it'll be hard to impossible for him to ever get it back.
