Tom Hicks, owner of the Rangers, said he felt betrayed by the Alex Rodriguez steroid report because of many talks he had with Rodriguez, and the close relationship they shared then.

"I certainly don't believe that if he's now admitting that he started using when he came to the Texas Rangers, why should I believe that it didn't start before he came to the Texas Rangers," he said.
