McGwire Refuses to Say if He Used Steroids

[boxdnosepress]

All i have to add for my opinion is that the MLB should have a durg test or somthing of the sort, then when a player is found with a illegal drug in their system they should be banned. this is to let all the people with real talent play and also keep it fun for them and the crowd.

Well, MLB did adopt a new system for testing and penalizing players caught using steroids, but it is a very weak setup. You get 5 chances(I think)before you're banned:

 

1st offense - 10 day suspension

2nd offense - 30 day suspension

3rd offense - 60 day suspension

4th offense - 1 year suspension

5th offense - banned

 

In this setup, it will take roughly two full seasons before anyone could get banned from baseball, making it still fairly easy for Barry Bonds to set the HR record. It should be more like International track suspensions, where your 1st offense is 2 years suspension, and the 2nd offense is a lifetime ban. Now, it's pretty much going to be suspicious eyes watching anyone who cranks out 50+ homers in a season.
