Report: A-Rod tested positive for a banned stimulant in 鈥06

NEW York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez tested positive for a banned stimulant in 2006, The New York Times reported on Monday, an accusation denied by a representative of the legal team for the third baseman.

The newspaper cited two unidentified people involved with baseball’s drug-testing program.

Baseball’s joint drug agreement specifies the discipline for a first positive test for a banned stimulant is six additional unannounced drug tests over the year following the violation. A second violation leads to a 25-game suspension.

Rodriguez’s legal team accused MLB of leaking the allegation of a positive test.

Lanny Davis, a former Clinton administration official working for Rodriguez’s legal team, denied the player tested positive, the Times said. James McCarroll, a lawyer for the three-time AL MVP, did not address whether Rodriguez had a positive test, only that he was not banned.
