Manny suspended 50 games - kbwsb - 06-19-2009
One of the ESPN writers (Olney?) suggested something that I agree with; if you really want a steroid policy that has some teeth, make it a 1-year suspension for 1st offense (without pay), and a lifetime ban for the 2nd offense.
You'd see a whole lot less bullshit with that plan in place.

I'm in favor of skipping the first offense and just get straight to the ban. That'd instantly cut that shit out.

Why should it be more than other sports?

Yep, so why should it be increased further?
