First let me say that I am not an Arod fan even tho I like the yankees, and yes I do think they would be better off without him long term from a win/loss perspective. That leads me to my question, What kind of actual evidence do they have that he was using peds? Lots of talk, innuendo's and a corporate whistle blowers account who after seeing his interview I won't trust as far as I could throw a bull by the tail, is all I've seen. Where are the failed drug tests or eye witness account, which are really the only evidence that should be admissible. Remember with Roger Clemons they had documented paperwork, so called witnesses and even the alleged needle and what did they prove? Nada. Only the haters disagreed with the verdict, shoot some people still think Manson is innocent, and look who the people put in the Whitehouse. People on a whole are stupid and have a lynch mob mentality regardless of the facts.
Unless I've missed something, which is possible, I don't see any evidence to even talk about a season long ban and certaintly not a lifetime ban. What I see is the worst Commissioner in baseball history trying to bail his beloved Yankees out of a 250 million dollar mistake.
Someone please enlighten me.
