When Alex Rodriguez confessed to manipulating drug tests with mid-stream urine

In 2014, Alex Rodriguez acknowledged using performance-enhancing medications provided by Anthony Bosch, a fictitious physician who oversaw a steroid ring in South Florida. Rodriguez also explained how he managed to beat the drug tests.

According to the Miami Herald, Rodriguez testified that Bosch advised him to only use mid-stream urine for MLB drug testing and not to use the beginning or the end urine stream.

As a result of his cooperation and testimony, Rodriguez was granted immunity by prosecutors, according to the Herald.

Rodriguez's reputation took a massive hit due to his involvement in the PED scandal and he was suspended for the entire 2014 season.

Alex Rodriguez's emotional letter to his elder daughter

MLB icon and former Yankees star Alex Rodriguez wrote an emotional parting letter to his daughter, who recently graduated from high school and is off to the University of Michigan. Since his divorce from Cynthia Curtis in 2008, Rodriguez, 47, has been a single parent, and Natasha, 18, is the first member of his family to move out.

A part of the message said:

"Yesterday was bittersweet. Tashi, I can't make time stand still, so my wish for you is to go out in the world with confidence, knowing your worth and believing in yourself. As you move on from one chapter to the next, I'm most proud of who you are as a person."

Rodriguez resides primarily in Miami, so traveling from Miami to Michigan and vice versa will be quite the adventure.
