JUPITER, Fla. (AP) -Alex Rodriguez says he’s happy to put behind him a meeting with baseball officials about his use of steroids more than five years ago.
The New York Yankees slugger reported to the Dominican Republic team Monday and took part in its first workout in preparation for the World Baseball Classic. The practice came one day after Rodriguez met for two hours with Major League Baseball officials about his positive drug tests in 2001-03 while with the Texas Rangers.
“It’s really good to get yesterday behind me – another one of the big steps,” Rodriguez said. “For me, now the focus is the WBC.”
Rodriguez declined to say what happened at the meeting, or what he expects regarding any follow-up.
The Dominican team will play its first exhibition game Tuesday against Florida.
