Alex Rodriguez expects to be questioned repeatedly about drug use as he approaches Barry Bonds' career home-run record.

"Right now, the game is in a very not-trusting situation with our public, with our fans," A-Rod said Wednesday in his first remarks after arriving at spring training. "Some of the things that I've accomplished and potentially some of the things that people think I can accomplish, my name has come up and will probably come up again in the future."

Rodriguez, who signed a record $275 million, 10-year contract to remain with the New York Yankees, won his third AL MVP award last season after leading the major leagues with 54 home runs and 156 RBIs. The 11-time All-Star, who is 32, enters the season 17th on the career list with 518 home runs, 244 behind the record Bonds established last year.

A-Rod stated categorically that he had never taken steroids or human growth hormone. He said he isn't worried about Jose Canseco, who has hinted without going into detail that he will make allegations against Rodriguez in an upcoming book.

"Last year, I got tested 9-to-10 times," Rodriguez said. "We have a very, very strict policy, and I think the game is making tremendous strides."

Rodriguez also denied a claim last week by former Texas teammate John Rocker that doctors from management and the players' association told A-Rod, Rafael Palmeiro, Ivan Rodriguez and Rocker following a spring training meeting how to effectively use steroids. Rodriguez and Rocker were with the Rangers in 2002.

"That did not happen," A-Rod said.

He praised teammate Andy Pettitte, who was forced to give a deposition and affidavit to Congress in which he admitted using HGH in 2002 and 2004. Pettitte also said Roger Clemens discussed HGH use nearly a decade ago -- Clemens said Pettitte "misremembers." READ ON BELOW...
