02/20: Report: A-Rod Continued to Hang Around With Banned Trainer; Even After 2007 ESPN Report
Posted by: Patrick
Today, the Daily News reports that, according to "independent sources" (pretty hazy really), A-Rod was accompanied by Angel Presinal for the entire 2007 season, staying in different rooms in the same hotels as the third baseman did.
Peter Abraham points out in February of 2007, ESPN reported on the trainer, who said then that he had worked with A-Rod. What the Daily News adds to this story is that even after the ESPN story came out in February 2007, A-Rod maintained ties with Presinal. Why?! This is a guy who was caught with a bag of steroids at an airport in 2001 and subsequently banned from all MLB clubhouses. I don't understand it.
ESPN Radio reports (via Ben) that he could be suspended.
