It's funny that you wrote this in sarcastic slant,sort of an assumption that pro players have everything dialed in.. But the answer to your question, yes they are paid...and taxed like day labor..

Incorrect he loses about $5.8 dollars from doping
Well colour me surprised. Today I learned etc etc (no idea what an arod is, but I probably wouldn't be very interested in the answer either)
I've heard of that because of some of the athletics involvement. I think my lifetime total of exposure to professional baseball is about 70 seconds, which was more than enough.
We in Seattle had the initial version: A**Rod. It covered so much more ground for the most selfish player that ever pretended to be a nice person.
I looked for it but couldn't find the photo of A-Rod sitting on a rock shirtless in Central Park, with either Maddona or Jennifer Lopez standing or sitting near smiling. Would have been just another stock paparazzi shot had Rodriguez stunk Yankee Stadium up that night with errors and going hitless, newspapers and sports radio would calculate how many dollars were spent on him per game for nothing.. He was decent at play by play after his retirement and it looks like he is more savvy at business than PED use.
Actually that would be San Francisco's Barry Bonds and Olympic sprinter Marion Jones. Jones had to give back 5 medals won in Sydney and spend the rest of her life in shame. Bonds still had a legion of fans that rationalized "he just did what everyone did".....a now familiar justification to idiot followers. He didn't suffer any sleepless nights or financial hardships from appearances. AssRod was way down the list except maybe to disgruntled Yankee fans that watched him challenge Derek Jeter for their hearts. He tried that charm angle against Ken Griffey, arguably the greatest Seattle player and a real, clean phenom. Alex sleazed out of town when fans grew tired of his self-serving behavior. A pure d*ck that was hyped in high school; Rodriguez demanded much.
Yes, Balco nabbed Bonds, and revealed network of previously undiscovered doping (famous for "The Clear" that was supposed to be undetectable).
Ya'll are correct. As*rod's name came up during Balco among disgruntled Mariner fans but not even Bonds was nailed. He got nicked for some lesser crime after he "retired" and never admitted any issues. I totally missed how late Rodriguez was caught.
