Draw the Line

I'm not the biggest baseball fan in the world, but I love sports. I found an interesting article today in the Denver Post about Bud Selig, the commisioner of MLB, wanting to impose a 50-game suspension for any player caught using steroids. Now I can understand the need to remove these from the game and the potential "black cloud" they can leave over the image of the game, but you can't convince me that these performance-enhancing gems are that much worse than any other drug these "athletes" are abusing. Under the current policy, a player is suspended for a total of 10 games after their first offense. Cap'n Selig, in his infinite wisdom, thinks it would be more appropriate to increase this fivefold. At what point does it become TOO much? Sure it tarnishes the image of America's pasttime, but is it better to take Selig's idea and essentially get rid of these players all together? I'm not condoning steroids, but simmer down now :: aa
