A doctor who disputed the interpretation of an MRI showing that Alex Rodriguez had a quad strain was reprimanded by the state of New Jersey in February for not properly supervising an unlicensed employee.

As part of the report, Dr. Michael Gross failed to "adequately ensure proper patient treatment involving the prescribing of hormones, including steroids" at the Acting Center for Health & Wellness.

Gross said he never has met Rodriguez in person. But on Wednesday, with Rodriguez's permission, Gross went on an extensive media tour, declaring that an MRI did not show a quad strain.
