2007: A-Rod denies doping on "60 Minutes"

Today, Major League Baseball suspended Alex Rodriguez for the remainder of the 2013 season and all of the 2014 season for the use of performance-enhancing drugs. In 2007, Rodriguez appeared on 60 Minutes to tell his side of the story.

In that interview (excerpted in the video player above), Rodriguez denied using performance-enhancing drugs and said he was never even tempted to use them.

"Getting big and being stronger was never my problem," he said. "I have never felt overmatched on the baseball field....I'm just trying to be the best I can with the ability that God gave me."

Rodriguez has played 19 seasons in Major League Baseball with the Seattle Mariners, the Texas Rangers, and the New York Yankees. A three-time MVP, Rodriguez currently ranks 5th in career home runs and is considered one of the greatest sluggers in the history of baseball.
