Re: Rafael Palmeiro: Was he treated fairly?
reid,
i understand what happened to palmeiro. my original point didn't debate what happened but whether it was "right". even with your impressive involvement in team sports, i have to think that even you feel that there's a limit to what stays in the clubhouse; the expectation of trust can only go so far in light of the severity of the crimes. apparently, for you steroids don't reach that breaking point. for others, they do.
noone is stupid enough to think that being a teammate is carte blanche for being able to do anything and have it kept quiet. even "brothers" have limits.
canseco was blacklisted but it's hard to argue that, ultimately, what he did wasn't a good thing.
"It's hard to trust a guy who will sell you out"
it's even harder to trust a guy who's engaging in unethical behavior.
