I am glad to see the MLB is cracking down on steroid users. However, I'd like to see a more strict disciplinary system for those who decided to use the substance. For those who did use (and can be proven), they should stripped of all their awards earned after using the substance.
It is no coincidence that the top six single season HR totals were tallied by those who doped. My point is; how can current major league hitters compete? They should be held to a different standard than those who chose to the rules of the game.
My second point deals with future baseball players. High school and college athletes will look at the major league and its players and see plenty of the players took steroids to up their game. Why is it fair for these kids to compete against the users?
Steroids has no place in baseball. In order to keep it out, action has to be taken to throw out everything steroids has tainted. Including hall of fame status' and any other personal achievement. Those who have used steroids and are still in the league should be removed.

What about world series titles by players who were on performance enhancing drugs?
ReplyDeleteAlso, now that steroids are out in the open and there is a ton of publicity around it, I believe we will see a significant drop off in the use of banned substances. I believe we will also see a change in testing policies to include blood tests.
World Series titles should also be stripped from those who used the banned substances.
ReplyDeleteSo there would just be no world series champion for years where one player from the entire team? Should the teams also be stripped of league titles? Pennants? Regular season wins? You can't erase an entire era of baseball and pretend it never happened. That's just outrageous.
ReplyDeleteI said strip the individuals rings. The teams should keep theirs.
ReplyDeleteBut how can you justify taking away the individual's rings when they helped the team to the championship. Baseball is a team sport.
