A-Rod and Barry Bonds
Why isnt A-Rod catching the same kind of heat and bile that Bonds did?
As I understand Bonds never was actually caught, and A-Rod has been; Bonds never admitted he took juice, A-Rod has done... if A-Rod breaks the home run record will jeans makers be being his home run balls and marking them with *'s?
I would expect the New York Yankee's to drop the guy, tell him his contract isnt going to be paid out because he broke the conditions of it by being a cheat, and let him rot in the minor leagues. But I dont expect he'll get more than a slap on the wrists. So every other young player coming up will know - the best thing to do is hit the juice, because even if you get caught nothing much will happen.
I dont advocate people who break the rules of sport facing criminal charges, but I do believe that if you are proven beyond doubt to have deliberately taken performance enhancing drugs - that should be a career.
