After the initial report Rodriguez was approached by Sports Illustrated while he was training for the upcoming season in a Miami area gym. At that time, Rodriguez told the reporter, fan of hines ward jersey, "You'll have to talk to the union." He was also asked for an explanation of his positive test result, to which he commented "I'm not saying anything."
