ARod...copping a plea ?

Rick, I believe thats wrong. If A-rod declared unable to play anymore the insurance pays 80% of his remaining salary. Unfortunately for A-rod (breaks my heart ha ha ha) mlb is gonna suspend him shortly after allstar break before he plays enough rehab games to be disabled and he will lose major millions in whatever suspension length eventually goes down.

 

I hope you're right my friend. I hate seeing this guy get paid for being a total scum bag. Not to mention that the Yankees can really use his deleted monies for someone more valuable.

 

In my book............he's outta here. A Disgrace in Pinstripes.

 

...a failed test is not required.

 

Mess, you can be suspended without a drug test. I think when this all finally comes out we're gonna find that a-rod actively interfered in an investigation, buying and destroying evidence, not to mention the phone records, etc that mlb has on him. A-rod is not getting out of this one

 

I also don't know if I agree with the 150 games but I'd go 100 just for.....being guilty by association.

 

I think they are going for the jugular and want to give him a lifetime ban... they are settling for 150... or basically a full season...

 

Did anyone here ever read "Ball 4"?

 

I've been following all this BS about Arod as much as possible. I have a question. And I am sorry if it's been asked. How can MLB suspend Arod again over something a Dr is saying about him? Did he test positive on another test? So MLB is going to take the word of a Dr who is trying to stay out of massive trouble over a non test? How does this work for him getting suspended at all? I thought you have to test positive in order to get suspended?

 

Orlando, this may just be a case of.....guilty by association.

 

...ORLANDO in the hizzy !

 

...and oh, no, you don't have to fail a test to be suspended... (see Manny Ramirez)

 

manny did fail a test but showing estrogen in his blood i believe

 

I also don't think Bonds ever actually failed a test either but I think growing to the size of the hulk made it obvious. But as rare as it would be........I could be wrong.

 

......yes, but that is not the reason why he was suspended.

 

Players who felt they were bigger than the game itself who are on THE LIST?

A-Rod, Braun, (can you name others?)/B]

 

Testing positive in spring training for a female fertility drug that is used by steroid users to restore testosterone production to normal levels, the 36-year-old Ramirez received a 50-game ban, costing him $7.7 million of his $25-million salary and the Dodgers a potent middle-of-the-lineup bat that took them to their first National League Championship Series in 20 years...copied from LA Times

But again, the drug test is not what brought Manny down... while it is true he failed a drug test, he was preparing to appeal that test, when his own Doctor's medical records revealed that he had taken HCG. That's what ultimately nailed him.

..."just cause" and "non-analytical evidence" is the same clause in the CBA that MLB is using to bust ARod, Braun, and the others.

 

I can hear howard cosell now when a-rod gets suspended.... DOWN GOES A-ROD, DOWN GOES A-ROD, DOWN GOES A-ROD
