A list of the most unloved Seattle’s sportspersons was compiled by the Seattle post-intelligencer newspaper. Taking into account attitude to application of steroids, it is surprisingly that only two consumers of steroids were included in the list. Administration of steroids by these two athletes was not the reason to write them in the list of the most despised Seattle’s athletes. Nevertheless, it must have influenced.
These two sportspersons from the list were “The Boz” Bosworth and Alex “A-Rod” Rodriquez.
It became clear that Bosworth was a consumer of steroids after Nandrolone metabolites had been found in his urine sample in 1986. He was one of the other 20 football players who were caught taking prohibited products in 1986. It resulted in Bosworth’s ban to play for Oklahoma Sooners in 1987.
Bosworth confirmed that he had used Deca Durabolin which had been prescribed by his doctor for recovery from an injury. This athlete claimed that it was the first time that he took steroids.
Bosworth obtained the 1985 and 1986 Butkus Award.
This football player came in connection with Seattle, when he got the Seahawks a 10-year contract. But his career was interrupted by an injury. He retired from professional football in 1989 after he had played 24 games for this team. His case was considered to be one of the most significant busts in NFL history.
Another person that was written in the list of the most unloved Seattle’s sportspersons was Alex Rodriquez. He received the nickname “A-Rod”. The nickname was given by a Seattle Mariners’ player. Alex Rodriquez had a significant success in Seattle. This baseball player came to the Seattle Mariners right after High School at the age of 17. Everyone was impressed by his skills. He played for the Calgary Cannons and the Tacoma Rainiers. He continued to succeed but he left Seattle because of desire to get more money. It made him the most scorned Seattle’s sportsperson. He signed a contract with the Texas Rangers in 2000. It was the most profitable contract which had ever been obtained in sports history.
The news that was reported in February 2009 shocked everybody. It was noted that Alex Rodriquez tested positive for such anabolic steroids, as Testosterone and Primobolan during a testing in the MLB.
The writer Roberts confirmed in her book connected with Alex Rodriquez that he had used steroids in high school to bulk up.
Alex Rodriquez acknowledged that he had used anabolic steroids but he noticed that he had administered them only from 2001 to 2003.
In fact, there were several other reasons which resulted in the fact that Alex Rodriquez and Brian Bosworth were included in the list of the most hated athletes of Seattle. But their links with steroids gave opportunity to blame these persons again.
