Madonna's reported former boyfriend Alex Rodriguez has hit the headlines again for taking a performance-enhancing, banned substance in 2003.

Sports Illustrated magazine broke the news on Friday (06Feb09) and now the New York Yankees baseball star has confirmed the report.

Rodriguez tells sports news network ESPN, "I did take a banned substance. For that I'm very sorry and deeply regretful."

The slugger has become the latest sports star named and shamed in the steroids era - baseball superstars Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Jason Giambi and Eric Gagne have all been caught up in the controversy.

Madonna had been linked with Rodriguez when her eight year marriage to British director Guy Ritchie came to an end but she is currently dating model Jesus Luz, who she has introduced to her children.

The singer won a residency battle against Ritchie and has temporary permission to take her two sons to America and they boys will divide their time between New York and London.
