Running Doc: Hard work appears to be paying off for A-Rod

Dear Running Doc:

I know that you have not been very complementary about A-Rod in the past because of his PED use. But look at his season thus far Doc, now what do think? He is obviously being tested and doing great!

— Robert B., Bronx, NY.

Thank you Robert for the question and giving me the opportunity to address this issue. I couldn't be happier watching the Yankees this season. A-Rod is having a great season and the Yankees are in first place.

Understand taking the PEDs will not take someone without talent and make them into an athletic superstar.
