Im not a yankee fan, matter of fact im a big met fan and cant stand the Yankees.
BUT - To me it makes no sense, everyone gets 50 games, IF they fail 1 test, that's the rule. And arod gets 162? Where is the rule saying that, "x offence" gets 162 games? I don't think you can just wing it when it comes to such large suspensions. I can see this turning into a movie 10 years from now. ![]()

I think he got the lion's share of this for his interference in the MLB investigation, i.e., trying to cover his tracks at BioGenesis.
Just go away now please.

Just like how cycling gave Lance a lifetime ban from competing in any form of cycling at any level and stripped his titles even after semi-retirement and beyond the years typically allowed as a sort of statutory limit. They decided that his level of obstruction and interference both behind the scenes and in court was bad enough to allow all his past cheating to count. For Arod then, it wasn't just a supposed first fail, it was also the admission of using for a few years before it was specifically against the rules. And his assumed continuation of that use after the rule change. He got off very lightly in my opinion. A strong commissioner would have made it a lifetime ban, but also would have put in a stronger program earlier maybe preventing the rampant abuses of the era. Or at least limiting the abusers - most Olympic/international sports have just as much of not more PED use, despite bans typically beginning at 2 years for a first failed test and lifetime bans for continual failed tests. A strong commissioner would have also had the guts to announce the suspensions before the all star game. It's just become so hard to take Selig seriously about anything. Steve B |

I don't think we'll see him again.

I'm certainly not disappointed to see him go. I've always found his antics to be very bushleague...the slap play on the grounder back to Arroyo in the '04 LCS as well as the incident where he yelled "Ha" (or "mine" depending on who asks) against the Jays leading to the infielder dropping the ball both come to mind.
Part of me wonders if the Yankee front office isn't somewhat happy to see this happen. I'm sure they'll miss his bat to an extent, but it certainly frees up some additional dollars. Although I may be speaking too soon as I don't know if he'll be able to play pending litigation. I guess we'll see what the team is thinking if they tell him not to attend spring training. |

I think Robin Williams put in best in "Good Morning Vietnam" when he said,

I just want to go on record saying that I've hated ARod long before steroids were in the discussion. He is the sole reason for my divorce from the Yankees after 25+ years of loyal support.
