According to reports there are 18 players on the biogenesis list that will be suspended, all players on the list should be suspended for the same amount of time. You can't selectively choose who gets more or less for the same violation of the drug policy. AROD admitted to using in the in the past. Whether MLB choose or not to punish him for that is in the past. Was there an agreement between AROD and MLB that if your caught a second time we are going to to treat you different then the other players in the future if they violate the MLB drug Policy. MLB has no concrete policy on PED's suspension time. Pretty simple solution ZERO Tolerance Drug Policy 1st Offense 1 year Suspension without pay 2nd Offense Life Time Ban. Will it deter Players,in the future no if you don't have a
strict Policy in place. Selective Enforcement penalties do not work to prevent anything in today's society.
