Manny suspended 50 games

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.
