MLB Steroids Policy. Cure or Ploy?
By lefty
AP writer Ronald Blum is reporting that MLB and the players have reached an agreement on a new steroid policy. Here is the top of his story:
"NEW YORK (AP) -- Baseball players and owners have reached an agreement on a tougher steroid-testing program and plan to announce it Thursday, The Associated Press has learned.
The agreement will include penalties for first-time offenders, an AL player said on condition of anonymity. Other details, such as the frequency of tests, were not immediately available." Click here for the rest of that story.
As the fans of MLB who pay for the game, we should scrutinize this policy with our own minds and hearts, and not be sucked in by the national "talking head" commentators who will undoubtedly praise whatever agreement is reached.
The policy must be strong enough to "GUARANTEE" all players are 100% clean 100% of the time of performance enhancing drugs. As fans we need to trust that a Barry Bonds is a trust worthy as US Treasury Bonds. Fans must not settle for less. YankeesSuck.com will reserve judgment on the policy until we read it, and hope that it truly is a remedy for the problem, and not a MLB public relations ploy.
