Rod Tidwell to withdraw only after 5 years

14 Feb 2009, Faux Wire Service: The famous athlete, Rod Tidwell, rejecting claims that he took steroids, has said that he will withdraw from athletics only after five years.

His statement comes after the anti-doping agency revealed that tests conducted before the Olympics tested positive for steroids.

However when confronted with this stunning release, Tidwell said that he could not return his medals or withdraw from sports because he still had a lot of money to make. He said endorsements worth $20 million were on the line, and that if he admitted his guilt his dream NY city apartment would remain a dream.

He specifically made the point that after 5 years he would be a very rich man and could afford to lose all his endorsements, if anyone even bothered. He would be out of his prime too, he mentioned.

Friends say he is also afraid his giant billboard at Times Square would stop being an advertisement for an eligible hunky sports star. A person who wished to remain anonymous said Tidwell spends a lot of time looking at his own potrait on the cereal box daily, which will be among the first to be dropped if he admits to doping charges.

Tidwell is currently single.
