MLB Will Not Punish Alex Rodriguez for Steroid Use

After completing their investigation Major League Baseball has decided not to punish A-Rod.A_Rod_Alex_Rodriguez

Well, why the hell not?

Is it okay to cheat as long as you come clean about exactly how long you were breaking the rules and you were telling the truth about that?

Oh, you just used steroids from 2001 until 2003 – no problem.

No wonder he always looks so smug.

The Yankees had no comment. I can only assume they didn’t comment because “We’re having a big party that involves lots of gloating, drugs and hookers, but don’t worry, we’ll admit the exact details of our transgressions later and Selig will be cool.” sounds really bad as a sound byte.

I am starting to really hate the entire MLB organization.

    Testing did not begin until 2003. It was agreed upon that no one who tested positive in the first year of tests would be punished. MLB did not enact punishment for steroid use until 2005. So unless they can prove A-Rod used steroids in 2005-present, he can’t be punished.

    I’m not saying it’s right, I’m just telling you why he wasn’t punished.

    I feel better knowing that, but the whole thing just pisses me off.

    He will not be held accountable, ever.

    In other news, and not to dumb down the conversation, but Chris Robinson –> Alex Rodriguez is a head scratcher, yes?
