arod is NOT being singled out because he is a yankee, or because of his contract. thats blatantly ridiculous. he's being singled out for being a repeat offender, someone who has admitted to using not just HGH but ANABOLIC STEROIS. he is being singled out because he has actively tried to hinder the investigation BY BUYING EVIDENCE TO KEEP IT FROM INVESTIGATORS
