You know, before the whole scandal on steroids, I considered Arod one of the greatest Yankees of all time. I was pumped when he hit his 500th home run. But, when he hit his 600th, I wasn't that excited because I knew he was a cheater.
I love what MLB has done with the Biogenesis report. They are seriously cracking down on steroids here, and this should change baseball for the future. By going after the players, they are able to give them appropriate consequences to them, which should stop them from doing it again. In Arod's case, lying about steroids twice is a definite no no. Bud Selig should keep doing what he's doing. TAKE AROD OUT OF BASEBALL. No one even likes him anyway. Why? Because he's a cheater. Bud Selig, if you want people to watch baseball, and to come to your games, and pay money for merchandise and tickets, you need to find all of the steroid users in baseball, and give them the appropriate consequences. I propose a three strikes and your out kind of deal
First offense- 100 game suspension
Second offense- Full season suspension and stripping of all major awards won in the MLB, such as MVP, Silver Slugger, Gold Glove, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, and the Triple Crown for both Batting and Pitching.
Third Offense- Life ban from the MLB.
Yes, I know this is harsh, but is the only way to stop the illegal use of steroids in the MLB. Take Manny Ramirez for example. He was suspended 50 games for illegal use of steroids. Then 100 for a second offense, because he knew the punishments weren't hard enough. Arod needs his three MVP's taken away, and Braun needs his one MVP taken away. That's why my proposed consequence program is perfect. You mess up 3 times, your out. Just like in the game.
