Re: Sell your Clemens stuff..

But MLB could try too and inforce it in a way where extreme punishments get handed out if the player does not comply or tests positive.
Example - instead of suspending a guy 15 or 30 games (Which mind is absolutely nothing and is a complete joke if you ask me) But suspend them for a full season or even worse ban them from Baseball, sure at first its gonna hurt but in the long run the game will be ten times cleaner and more fans will believe in the game again

This has already been done... the current penalties are much harsher than the ones you have referenced. Here they are...


I. Penalties for steroids
A. Test results
— 1. First positive: 50 games
— 2. Second positive: 100 games
— 3. Third positive: Lifetime ban, subject to right to seek reinstatement after two years of suspension, with arbitral review of reinstatement decision.

B. Conviction for possession
— 1. First offense: 60-80 games
— 2. Second offense: 120 games to 1 year
— 3. Third offense: Lifetime ban, subject to right to seek reinstatement after two years of suspension, with arbitral review of reinstatement decision.

C. Conviction for distribution
— 1. First offense: 80-100 games
— 2. Second offense: Lifetime ban, subject to right to seek reinstatement after two years of suspension, with arbitral review of reinstatement decision.

Suave: I would just like to add to this as far as MLB just ending that is impossible and to expect them to do that is asking a bit much because you could never completely control it.


I disagree. Want to end it? No problem. It's really is quite simple.

-We'll say this, MLB will hire 10 members from this forum who have zero affiliation with MLB. We'll need a salary budget, a travel budget, a expense budget (materials) and a lab testing budget.

-We'll get a big drum and put all of the teams names into the drum. Once a week, we'll pull a name of a team from the drum and drop in on that team with 20 empty urine bottles.

-Ten (10) players would be randomly tested and they would have to give urine samples. Ten samples would be sent to a lab and the other ten samples would be locked in a safe just in case someone comes up "hot".

-Let the chips fall where they may. No, it's not a big deal at all. In reality, it's really a very simplistic task. What's makes the task difficult is MLB and the players union because neither want it to happen.
