A-Fraud

Another season another account of Alex Rodriguez cheating and still playing below average baseball and hitting on below average women in the stands. Not only was it A-Rod this time but it was also Nelson Cruz and Gio Gonzalez along with the already suspended Melky Cabrera. They all were treated at a South Florida clinic where they all received some form of HGH from Anthony Bosch, who runs the clinic. Bosch is also the person who is in charge of Manny Ramirez's case of illegal substance abuse. He is currently under investigation by the MLB and DEA.

As a Yankee fan this is just funny to me that A-Rod can cheat and still choke and not produce when it matters most. The MLB should seriously start implicating harsher bans on people who use PED's because it is the reason why the sport is so tarnished today. Every time we have a new star player in the league the first question isn't about how good he is, it usually ends up being "Do you think he used steroids?". This is unfortunate but true in todays sports. I think the MLB should ban people for more games than they already are and take away more accolades and awards than they already are. For example, they should strip Melky, Cruz, and Gonzalez of their All-Star appearances and give the All-Star accolade to the person who was legally next in line to be in the game. Or if someone has receiver some sort of Cy Young or MVP award while on PED's, instead of just stripping the award from them give it to who was in second place who wasn't on drugs. I know this isn't as rewarding for the players but it will let people know that their is a zero tolerance for this in professional sports. If people in the old days could do it without PED's I'm sure people today can make it through the season without them too.

Can you believe this Jabba the Hut looking guy was actually on PED's? I can't.
