Major League Baseball issued a statement Wednesday night after a soon-to-be-released book that was excerpted on SI.com said that MLB granted suspended slugger Alex Rodriguez a therapeutic exemption for testosterone during his 2007 Most Valuable Player season.
Responded MLB in a statement: "All decisions regarding whether a player shall receive a therapeutic use exemption (TUE) under the Joint Drug Program are made by the Independent Program Administrator (IPA) in consultation with outside medical experts, with no input by either the Office of the Commissioner or the Players Association. The process is confidentially administered by the IPA, and MLB and the MLBPA are not even made aware of which players applied for TUEs.
