I'm going to go out on a limb and say that MLB doesn't have nearly the amount of evidence they would lead us to believe. This is Bud Selig grandstanding saying, "Don't say I never did anything about PED's!"

ARoid has already admitted through his attorney that he paid a $25K retainer for an attorney for the guy who ran Biogenesis. He didn't do that because he liked the guy.

Not to mention the huge influence these athletes have on young kids. For this reason alone, I'd be against letting them juice.

This X10000.


A-Rod has been good in his interviews, saying the right things. Good talker. Also got to say I'm surprise he is hitting this well. I thought he was done, and he should be done. But I thought his talent was done also.

I don't know why, but I just can't hate the guy. He's fighting for his career and he clearly wants to keep playing. It can't just be for money, but he's already got a ton, so it must be for love of the game. I guess I'd rather see someone so passionate about playing that he's using any means to keep playing at a high level, than someone who doesn't give a sh!t once he's at the top, then just walks away when it gets tougher to play. the wasy thing for him to do would be to say "fuck baseball, I don't need it anymore" and walk away. He wants to keep playing.

I agree. I also have to wonder if there is more to this than we know. I just can't imagine he doesn't at least THINK there is some kind of evidence that would prove his side. Otherwise I just don't see why he wouldn't just take his suspension quietly. It wasn't a lifetime ban

Yep....granted he's close to 40 and coming off a lot injuries over the years, so a 214 game suspension might as well be a lifetime ban. He'd be close to 42 when he could start playing again. There has to be more to this than we all know right now.

Or he's as dirty and arrogant as Armstrong and thinks he can strong arm his way through this. With his arrogance and love of attention I think there is a good chance he's as dirty as MLB thinks he is.

That's true, he could be. But for some reason, I just can't hate the guy for wanting to play so badly.

You remind me of all the people that kept trying to defend Lance. His wanting to play isn't that noble.

I would want to play to if I was going to get paid $28 million or so to do it.
