Default A-Rod Story on 60-Minutes
Not sure if anyone caught it but if CBS is correct, and the evidence of the blackberry text messages is a smoking gun IMO, A Rod not only cheated, he made a full-time job of it.

Wonder how many reporters are scouring through film of A-Rod just before a game and into the first inning to catch him in the act of juicing.

Bad people do bad things. And then lie about it.

Looks like he did something...But to never fail a drug test, and never get caught, that is strange...

And those are the facts. He should not be judged/punished based on public perception of him. 162 game suspension is absurd. 50 games for first violation. So technically 50 would even be too much, but at least not so absurd.

In the 60 Minutes interview, Bosch said it was a very easy to beat a positive test result. He talked about taking mandatory samples in "mid stream" (not the beginning or end) to avoid catching drug metabolites in urine.

He made it seem like any drug testing protocol was very easy to beat if you knew what you were doing......

He admitted to using.

The biggest mistake Selig made was to wage this ridiculous war with ARod and risk making him look like a "victim".

He is guilty and has already admitted it. This is just overkill.

Baseball is clearly still one of the top 3 most popular sports in this country.

I know how you can make some money to cover your football losses. Write an EBook on the art of trolling. Your original nonsense got no play so you followed it up with this.

You must be kidding. BTW, how do you think the NBA or the NFL would look if they had a real drug testing policy?
