    Alex Rodriguez claims in an interview with Sports Illustrated that he still wants "to be a role model" despite the "noise" surrounding the embattled New York Yankees slugger from the Biogenesis scandal.

    "Look, it's concerning," Rodriguez told the magazine. "I have two daughters at home, and I'm sensitive to that, and above all, I want to be a role model, continue to be a role model -- especially to my girls.

    "So all the noise sometimes gets on my nerves, but that's it. I can't let it get any further than that. I have a job to do."

    Rodriguez's comments may raise a few eyebrows due to his entanglement and purported role in the Biogenesis saga.

    ESPN's "Outside the Lines" has reported that Rodriguez and as many as 20 other players are expected to be suspended for their relationship to Anthony Bosch, the founder of the now-closed Biogenesis anti-aging clinic that allegedly provided performance-enhancing drugs to the players.
