Bmw Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Well as you may or may not know, Bud Selig (MLB commissioner) has propsed a new steroid solution. He was previously quite criticized for his new/old solution, I believe it was something like 3 games + small fine for 1st offence. Today, he has proposed the following: 1st offence : 50 Games 2nd offence: 100 Games 3rd offence: Lifetime ban. Now I think that its about time. Someone has to do something to get rid of these cheating idiots. I could not agree more with this proposed offer by Bud Selig, which will most likely be soon in place. Thoughts?

Demeige Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 hmm, matters who they're cutting out. How does a profession differ from an occupation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zelot Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 thats more like it...they need to be strict enough to scare players to not take those superman pills, the other solution i thought was a complete joke....now this solution seems to be the answer! ~ZeLoT~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Baseball is totally alien to me but I think by using steroids to gain an illegal advantage should warrant a ban like this in any sport. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutiepie05 Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Baseball is totally alien to me but I think by using steroids to gain an illegal advantage should warrant a ban like this in any sport. I completely agree. If it was my choice though, I probably wouldn't give people a chance if they used steroids. If they are going with Selig's idea, I think it should just be one chance (ie: miss 50 games) and after that, you're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vladmoney Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 actually i really like the current system. Its very reasonable to some limits. I like the 3 chance ban plan. Just so on the second time if they get falsely accused they don't get banned for nothing.

dymed Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 hmm, matters who they're cutting out. No, it shouldn't matter one bit whether or not the person is a rookie or going for the all-time career home run record. A crime is a crime and a punishment should be issued indiscriminately. This new plan seems pretty good. I even wouldn't mind seeing it a bit harsher. 3 times for the same offence, especially when it comes to something like steroid usage, for a ban seems a bit too much. I agree with Cutiepie, should be 1st offence: 50 games, 2nd: expelled from MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiseTSM Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I like this. Cheaters should not prosper, and now there is a big reason to play fair. My Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blizzard666 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I totally agree, Baseball for the longest time has let steroids go, and its time to clamp down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightLite Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I am a longtime baseball player and fan, and I think steriod use is stupid and you should be banned for first offense. It's like autoing on a game, you dont do the time but you get the reward. and then you get banned... - Only character in Runescape History maxed out in RSC and RS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolover64 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I know a solution! Let them decide what's best. If they want their testicles to shrink, fine with me. As long as they don't make infomercials about them, I'm good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
____ Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Question: How many games per season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frauschlager_jr Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 162 games a year...i think...or is that just what it is in Japan....i dunno, been to long since ive lived in the US of A. As for steroids, i cant wait for jose canseco's body to begin to totally deterioate and show the world just how dangerous roids are. but, should taking drugs really be against the rules? that i dont know....

____ Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Be glad I'm not into making punishments for drug abuse in any sport: I personally think it should be more towards: First offence - Banned for half a season* - Fined 25% of their contract. Second offence - Banned for an entire season* - Fined 50% of their contract. Third offence - Banned for baseball for life* - Fined 100% of their contract. Harsh, but sometimes it takes a kick to the balls for some people to get the point :P * Includes coaching, playing (at any level), spokes person, sport-related advertising, etc.. anything you can think of really.

Pete_the_Viscous Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I can think of two solutions: 1) ban people outright, and 2) make it compulsory, thus making it impossible to get an unfair advantage past the screenings. I'd go for the first one, though... deviantart account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korla Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Ban them right away, I say. no matter what sport it is, they cheating scum don't deserve a second chance, especially no matter who they are. Stars should be taken more seriously, they are who the kids look up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loser_0 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I do like the strict punishment that Bud Selig proposed but I also think they should fine them considerably kind of like what someone earlier posted for fines... but who knows... This could be a gimmick by baseball to comfort congress and the fans with this whole ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅSteroids in BaseballÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâà Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
