A bombshell admission from one of baseball's greatest players.
Alex Rodriguez says he did, in fact, take performance enhancing drugs.
A-Rod tested positive for anabolic steroids in 2003.
At the time, he was playing for the Texas Rangers and it was during 2003 that he won the American League MVP and the AL home run title.
A-Rod's not the first major leaguer to make headlines for using steroids.
Now, local coaches are worried about the effects these findings have on their young players.
"As a coach it's diappointing because a lot of these top players are role models for kids that coaches like me have to coach and now we get questions like if they do it, is it okay," Little League coach Jeff Horn says.
The 2003 testing results were supposed to be anonymous.
They contained positive tests for 104 players in the majors.
