A source close to  Alex Rodriguez said that the ongoing coverage of his steroid use and recent allegations have nearly pushed him over the borderline and that, at times, he feels like he’s “going to lose his mind.”

According to a new book by Sports Illustrated writer Selena Roberts, Rodriguez took steroids in high school and was nicknamed “B—h T–s” by Yankee teammates in 2005, referring to his round pectorals that he developed from gaining 15 pounds during the off-season.

“You just keep on pushing him…don’t you know you’re driving him crazy,” said the anonymous Grammy Award-winning source. “It’s time for the good times…forget about the bad times, oh yeah.”

Rodriguez is currently in Tampa, FL rehabbing a likely roids-induced hip injury. When asked for a reaction to the allegations that he miraculously increased his bench press from 100 to 310 pounds in a matter of six months as a high school senior, he responded, “I’m not going there.”

“I already read that bull–I mean, I already came clean about my steroid use,” Rodriguez added. “You’ll have to wait until I get caught red han–I mean, I’m just through talking about this.”
