The other shoe falls in the steroids scandal that consumes professional sports.? As an avid baseball fan and a huge admirer of the game, I have such a problem with people like A-Rod coming out and admitting that they used steroids so casually.? The fact that individuals like A-Rod had their greatest seasons under the influence of these substances doesn’t just tarnish their record, it tarnishes any achievements of the team they played on.? If I were the Yankees, I would be suing him and trying to get out of that massive contract he received.? It spoils the game.? Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds all contended for the home run title with such fan participation and excitement yet there is no question in my mind that each of them took steroids for much of their career.? Have you seen the size of them later in their career vs. the beginning of their career? ?What is the answer?? Do we put an asterisk next to their names in the record books or do we simply not put them in the record books?? I am unsure how betting on your team as a manager (Pete Rose) doesn’t allow you entrance into the Hall of Fame but cheating during the game does.? My vote would be to put in a mandatory drug test for ALL players at various points throughout the season.? If you cheat and are caught, you are gone for good.
