Yankees star, Alex Rodriguez, who dominated the sports news recently after admitting his use of steroids, is now recuperating from his recent hip surgery at the snow-capped Rockies. It was reported in the last two weeks that A-Rod had a hip injury that formed into a cyst. Rumors circulated that the cyst was due to his administration of performance enhancing drugs, which he confessed of doing in 2001-2003 while he was still with the Texas Rangers. However, doctors said that there was no evidence of the cyst related to Rodriguez’s steroid use. It was not at the injection as some had suspected.

Rodriguez was operated on by top sports surgeon Dr. Mike Philippon who said that the cause of the baseball stars cyst developed due to a tear found in the labrum. Rodriguez is now recovering at a luxurious cabin at the Cascade Village.

From the Daily News:

Yankee Alex Rodriguez is living in rustic style while rehabbing his hip after surgery, staying in a luxurious log cabin with expansive views of the snow-capped Rockies.

The four-bedroom, 4-1/2-bath chateau is near a creek in Vail’s swanky Cascade Village. It’s owned by Jeff Heinen, who co-owns Heinen Fine Foods, an Ohio grocery store chain.

Sources told the Daily News that A-Rod chose the house because it has “a master bedroom on the main floor, and Mr. Rodriguez doesn’t have to walk up and down steps.”

There’s even access to the hot tub from the master bedroom.

A-Rod is recovering from hip surgery and is expected to hit the pool soon for some rehab exercises.

It was reported that prior to his surgery, Rodriguez had gone around local restaurants, had some beer and pizza and signed some autographs.

The Steadman Hawkins Clinic is a state of the art medical facility where Dr. Philippon operated sports stars Greg Norman, John Elway and Dan Marino.
