Alex Rodriguez took banned substances, with the hope that they would enhance his performance on the Baseball field. Banned substances will make a player stronger and inflate his statistic productivity. They also allow a player to heal more quickly.
2003
The jucies called villycodone
Three years from 2001 to 2003

No- Alex Rodriguez did for a very short time, but not while with the Yankees, so technically no.
Probably 8 years at this pace
Childish, snarky question-obviously from a holier than thou, self-absorbed child. Rodriguez didn't sign on to cure cance or help lead to world peace. He was and is a baseball player. Get over yourself.
He has admitted to using a performance enhancing drug during the 2003 to 2005 seasons with Texas and is currently under investigation as of 2013.
Alex Rodriguez's first year with the Yankees was in 2004.
No, caffeine used to be one of the substances checked for by the IOC but the World Anti-Doping Agency removed caffeine from its list of banned substances in 2004. A urinary test that returned an amount of 12 micrograms of caffeine per milliliter was considered by the IOC as a deliberate attempt to gain an advantage. Although not banned, it is still being checked for and should the WADA find enough athletes that have an elevated level of caffeine in their system, they will revisit their policy to determine whether it should go back on their list of banned substances. Bakhaavaa Buidaa of Mongolia was stripped of his silver medal in judo at the 1972 Games in Munich due to elevated levels of caffeine. Alex Watson, a fencer from Australia who competed in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul was also banned due to an elevated level of caffeine in his system.

The highest paid baseball player in the MLB is the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez. A-Rod signed a $252 million ten year deal with the Texas Rangers after the 2000 season. Seven years later, after collecting almost $200 million of that contract, he opted out of the last 3 years and signed a new $275 million deal. The new deal has incentives that could take that deal over $300 million.
