With the latest steroid allegations, Alex Rodriguez can handle the situation in several manners.
He can apologize for his wrongdoings, ala Jason Giambi. In Giambi's situation, people seemed to forget about his steroid usage as the years went on. Now, it is uncommon for steroids to be attached to his name like white on rice.
He can also admit to the allegations, the Andy Pettitte approach. Pettitte confessed his drug usage and why he did it. He came forward and rightfully admitted what he did. It seems as though people have forgiven Pettitte and can now see him as an "honorable" player even if he used performance enhancers.
A-Rod can also keep denying it, like Roger Clemens. We know how the Clemens situation has turned out thus far, and it is not working in his favor.
He can continue to blame the government for his problems. All steroid tests were supposed to be secret and held anonymous. Someone leaked his name out to the public and that could be Rodriguez's focus.
Alex can also continue to ignore the situation, which he started to do. If he avoids the situation, the media will only pressure him more.
Whatever he does, the way he will be looked at will never be the same.
