MLB Prepared To Ban A-Rod For Life 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Aug 1, 2013 12:03 am

Major League Baseball is prepared to hand a lifetime suspension to Alex Rodriguez, according to two sources.


The ban could come as soon as this weekend.


"I hope he does it," former Commissioner Fay Vincent said of Selig's intentions. "It's right for baseball. The harder he comes down, the better it is for baseball."


Rodriguez, who used performance-enhancing drugs from 2010-12, according to Biogenesis documents, has never been punished for doping.

seems a bit extreme. you could go to prison for any number of crimes and be allowed to return at some point. but impede an investigation, and thats it, youre through.

Not that he's innocent nor that this wouldn't be a great statement to prevent future players from using PEDs...and as a Yankee fan id be thrilled to be able to use the money that would be freed up when his contract is voided)...but this doesn't seem fair. Why would Braun only be banned for 65 games and ARod banned for life? Braun lied as well. Just seems like MLB is trying to make ARod an example.

Quit dragging it out and do it already suspend them all. Why keep waiting.
