quote:

Ready for some drama? Dr. Michael Gross, head of sports medicine at Hackensack and the doctor behind A-Rod‘s second opinion, just said during an interview with Mike Francesa on WFAN that Rodriguez is not injured. Gross said that A-Rod has no pain and also noted that A-Rod thinks he could play tonight if the Yanks so choose. Gross performed an MRI earlier and had authority from Rodriguez to discuss the results on the air. “To be perfectly honest, I don’t see any injury there,” Gross said while acknowledging that a slight Grade 1 strain may not appear on an MRI.
The Yanks haven’t said anything yet, but they can’t be pleased. The team cut A-Rod’s rehab short this weekend when a quad injury occurred, but many reports, based on anonymous sources, described A-Rod’s unhappiness with the decision. Now, with Gross’ public comments, A-Rod is forcing the issue. If he could play right now and the team is holding him back over the looming Biogenesis suspension, I think he’s completely in the right for allowing his doctor to speak publicly on the FAN. I’m sure we’ll hear more over the next few hours.



Here's to hoping he is suspended for life!

IMO Yankees are trying to delay his return, waiting for the suspension to be handed down, so insurance will pick up the tab & they won't have to deal with the headache.

Are you allowed to talk about someone's medical issues like this? I feel like that would somehow be illegal.

Edit: I guess it's ok with arods permission

It basically comes down to this years pay. He'll be suspended but the Yankees want that to happen before they have to pay him. I'm guessing the Yankees have been in close contact with the Players Union over this issue. Based on what happened with Braun I'm guessing the Players Union is going to hang A-Rod out to dry, as they should.

It's been reported they have more evidence than the Braun case so why would the Union fight for A-Rod to get this years pay and then watch him get suspended?
