We doubt anyone really feels that sorry for rich and talented Alex Rodriguez amid his steroid usage confessional week, but, just in case, Radar has some photographs of the slugger partying in the Bahamas right before the steroid news broke. The player was seen with some lovely ladies and an eyewitness tells Radar, "The girls said they had come down with A-Rod from the U.S. They were dancing in front of him and even kissing each other to entertain him. He seemed to like the brunette more. But they all left the club together." Lately, A-Rod has been seeking comfort with his ex-wife Cynthia (well, their 4-year-old daughter is also sick) and Madonna isn't happy about that! Image: Radar
