A list of the most despised Seattle’s athletes was composed by the Seattle post-intelligencer newspaper. Taking into account attitude to application of steroids, it is surprisingly that only 2 steroid users were included in the list. Administration of steroids by these two athletes was not the reason to enumerate them in the list of the most despised Seattle’s sportspersons. Nonetheless, it must have influenced.
These two sportspersons from the list were “The Boz” Bosworth and Alex “A-Rod” Rodriquez.
It became evident that Bosworth was a steroid user after Nandrolone metabolites had been discovered in his urine sample in 1986. He was one of the other 20 football players who were caught applying forbidden substances in 1986. It resulted in Bosworth’s ban to play for Oklahoma Sooners in 1987.
Bosworth noted that he had administered Deca Durabolin which had been prescribed by his health care provider in order to receive recovery from an injury. This football player claimed that it was the first time that he took steroids.
Bosworth got the 1985 and 1986 Butkus Award.
Bosworth came in connection with Seattle, when he signed with the Seahawks a 10-year contract. But his career was ended because of an injury. He retired from playing football professionally in 1989 after he had played 24 games for this team. His case was claimed to be one of the most essential busts in NFL history.
Another athlete that was named in the list of the most hated sportspersons of Seattle was Alex Rodriquez. He received the nickname “A-Rod”. The nickname was given by a Seattle Mariners’ player. Alex Rodriquez had a significant success in Seattle. This baseball player came to the Seattle Mariners right after High School at the age of 17. Everybody was amazed by his abilities. He played for the Calgary Cannons and the Tacoma Rainiers. Alex Rodriquez continued to succeed but he left Seattle because of desire to get more money. It made him the most detested Seattle’s sportsperson. He signed a contract with the Texas Rangers in 2000. It was the most profitable contract that had ever been signed in sports history.
The news that was reported in February 2009 shocked everybody. It was reported that Alex Rodriquez tested positive for the anabolic steroids Testosterone and Primobolan during a testing in the MLB.
The writer Roberts affirmed in her book about Alex Rodriquez that he had utilized steroids in high school to bulk up.
Alex Rodriquez acknowledged that he had used anabolic steroids but he mentioned that he had utilized them only from 2001 to 2003.
In fact, there were several other reasons which resulted in the fact that Alex Rodriquez and Brian Bosworth were included in the list of the most hated Seattle’s sportspersons. But their links with steroids gave possibility to blame these sportspersons again.
