A-Rod's baseball bombshell

CBS

"60 Minutes" has learned that members of New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez's inner circle in February obtained and leaked documents that implicated Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun, top right, as well as his own Yankees teammate, catcher Francisco Cervelli, bottom right, in the doping scandal that has enveloped Major League Baseball.

In 2007, 60 Minutes sat down with A-Rod who denied using performance-enhancing drugs, saying that he was never even tempted.

"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." Watch an excerpt from that interview below.
