Commissioner Bud Selig said Wednesday that he hasn't ruled out disciplining Alex Rodriguez for admitting to the use of banned substances from 2001-2003.
"It was against the law, so I would have to think about that," Selig said. "It's very hard. I've got to think about all that kind of stuff." Any attempt to discipline Rodriguez will be fought by the Players Association because the penalty phase of the steroids testing policy was not implemented until 2004.

Leave it to Bud to suspend a guy for answering allegations about steroid use that only came about because MLB leaked confidential test results.

There is no way Selig could get away with suspending him. He didn't suspend Giambi. This is just Bud trying to sound like a bad ass when he really knows that he can't do shit.
