A-Rod and Steroids

Earlier this week it was revealed that during the 2003 season Alex Rodriguez had tested positive for performance enhancing steroids.  This is only only one person out of the hundred names that could be on a list of athletes that use these drugs.  but now that the team, the union, and the fans know what is to be done?  it would be easy to say that we simply must move on because it is in the past but it seems now that all the records that he set are tainted by this release of information.  Should any legal action be taken? Or do we simply let these details be remembered by the fans?

Boy I sure hope good ol' Jeter is clean... it would really suck if he wasn't.

Haha at Jeter.

But anyway, you could say the records are tainted by many advances in training and so on. We have way better training now than 20 years ago and it shows in the quality of the athletes.

Like you could say that Babe Ruth's home run record was never truly broken because no one ever hit that many home runs while being a fat alcoholic who partied every night and was probably hung over for every game.

I don't think legal action should be taken. Drugs among atheltes is certainly not uncommon anymore. I mean I'm not encouraging it, but I think we should have him apologize to the public and then move on. Similarly, with the whole Michael Phelps scandal and how he used to smoke marijuna. I don't think its such a big deal, because its not like hes smoking it right now. The most he should have to do is apologize... and even I thinkt thats a bit far. It's crazy how much people can stretch these types of things when it's not even that big of a deal.

Baseball players are entertainers home runs hit by superhuman players are more entertaining than dead ball where no runs are scored. Its the players choice let them be lab rats if they so desire.
