It not A-Rod's fault. It's our fault. ... Stop the subsidies. We taxpayers subsidize billion dollar stadiums so owners can throw incredible sums of money at immature jerks who can hit a ball with a stick. That creates the kind of environment where players will do ANYTHING that helps them swing that stick faster. Who wouldn't pop a few pills for the chance at or to keep that kind of money? Sleezy or not, I certainly would, and anybody who's honest would have to admit it's tempting, very tempting and so easy to rationalize. Hell, strippers get surgical boob implants to get better tips. You're sore from a fall so you pop a few Advill so you can ski today. Who you hurting? You pop a few 'roids to get stronger. Who you hurting - besides yourself? ... Forget everything else. Want to make it clear that 'roid use is verbotten? Use fraud statutes to criminalize 'roid use by pro athletes. They now spend the unpaid suspension time on the beach then resume where they left off. Put teeth in enforcement. Void their contracts and toss 'em in prison for a season. End of problem.
