APPhiladelphia Phillies left-hander Jamie Moyer says Alex Rodriguez's statistics are forever tainted because of Rodriguez's admission last week that he used "banned substances."
"This changes everything — the way people look at him, the way people act toward him. It's a shame. What does he have to play for now?" the Philadelphia Inquirer quoted Moyer as saying.
Moyer also believes his former Seattle Mariners teammate is no longer worthy of the Hall of Fame.
"I don't see how he has a chance," Moyer told the Inquirer. "Who in their right mind would vote for anyone who got caught taking that stuff?"
Rodriguez told ESPN that from 2001-03 while a member of the Texas Rangers, he used substances that were illegal, yet not banned by baseball at the time. He reportedly tested positive for steroids in '03.
Moyer says A-Rod's credibility is shot because of the time it took for him to make an admission.
"I commend him for coming out and saying it, but why didn't he say it seven years ago?" the pitcher told the Inquirer.
Rodriguez also says he hasn't used steroids since joining the New York Yankees in 2004, the year baseball began a testing program that included penalties.
Moyer, 46, wants Major League Baseball to be more supportive of players who stay away from steroids. "Baseball should be proud of the people who haven't done steroids," Moyer told the Inquirer. "The ones who haven't know inside that they've done it right. I'm not extra proud of anything, but I know I'm clean. I feel like I've done it through hard work."
Like Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz, Moyer believes increasing the penalty for a first offense from a 50-game suspension to a full-season ban would be a sufficient deterrent to players. "Make the punishment stringent enough that nobody would be interested in doing it," Moyer told the Inquirer.
