Title: MLB Suspends Arod for two years!
Post by: arce1988 on August 03, 2013, 01:58:39 PM
 Booom!



Some of baseball’s most prodigious, iconic sluggers have fallen before – and fallen hard -- so at some level it was just Alex Rodriguez’s turn Monday. Major League Baseball suspended the New York Yankees third baseman for the remainder of this season and all of 2014 for, the league said, using performance-enhancing drugs and covering up his transgressions while essentially obfuscating the investigation.

But on a day that MLB suspended a dozen other players for 50 games apiece – all caught up in dealings with a Miami anti-aging clinic – two things became clear: Rodriguez, fifth on the all-time home run list, has now taken the baton from Barry Bonds, the game’s home run king, as the face of the sport’s drug problems.

Sam 'Ace' Rothstein:
First of all, what they did was totally unconstitutional.
We're on the list to be heard before the Supreme Court of the United States.

Andy Stone:
This guy DON'T give a fuck about the Supreme Court! They want you to walk away!

Sam 'Ace' Rothstein:
Walk away?! Andy, you can't be serious?! How can I walk away?! Don't you see what's at stake?!

Andy Stone:

If they positively had enough to ban him, believe me they would have done so....

They are hoping Alex will negotiate a reduced suspension and not fight it...

but Arod has other plans.

At this point he should really just take his money and quietly leave before further causing controversy and potentially tarnishing his own name.

Even if ARod had a case built up to counter it, the MLB is bent on outing any "immoral" steroid activities.   ::)

They're making example of those who have had a history of connections to PEDs and Steroids, and it didn't go in ARods favor this time around.

if I was him I'd dedicate my life to giving MLB a black eye, I'd out every player that ever took gear speeed...did dirt....every single thing I could prove, or half prove....it's clear they are trying to kill his career, and his rep..fuck those cocksuckers...I'd pull the pin

That sure would be interesting if he just brought down everyone he knew was involved. Think about the ramifications! Half of the MLB would be suspended  ;)

Arod should tell major league baseball to go fuck themselves, then out all the officials and owners who know exactly what goes on and encourage the use only to single out a scapegoat every season to try to make it look like they are keeping the sport clean exactly like the Olympics assholes, the tour de france and all the wada dicks do as well.

If you have not noticed major sports nail a big fish along with a bunch of small ones every once in a while, and its usually the ones who have pissed off the powers that be or are past their prime yet still have big money contracts to pay out.

Lance Armstrong is a more recent example. They build these fuckers up to superhuman status knowing exactly what it takes to do this then when the career is near the end or they are no longer making coin, or they speak out/piss someone off its time to destroy them by making them look like cheats and immoral, yet the irony is those who run all sports(including bodybuilding) are the biggest cheats and most immoral out of all the sports

That's my point. the writers hate him, and will never vote him in anyway, so fuck it. you want to kill my career and legacy, when I'm no better or worse than half of the players in the league...fuck you, I'm taking as many people as I can with me. and it's 1998 all over again.

If I were A-Rod, I'd make a deal with the Yankees to take 50 cents on the dollar for the remaining contract and retire tomorrow...Yankees allegedly have a team of 5 guys who's job it is to tail A-rod 24/7/365...No way he could come back in 2 years with no chemicals in him whatsoever...And one more encounter with juice/hgh, it's lifetime ban and Yankees won't have to pay a dime...Without chemcials, he'll hit 210 with 5 HRs and be booed every time he comes to the plate. Make a deal with the Yankees and move on. I guess it's easier said than done...

even if it costs him millions of dollars in legal fees its worth it to fight, as even if he loses its a drop in the bucket to him. the risk/reward is undeniable


and it is odd, he has never been suspended before, so it should be the 50 game suspension, but they are jumping to lifetime ban. maybe he's right, maybe the yankees are greasing someone to get out from under his contract..again, even if it cost them 20million dollars, its worth it to get away from the $100mill they owe

WoooSSSHHHHHHHHH

If he's banned for 2 years, isn't that without pay? And then he's one more away from lifetime ban. Lifetime ban would be without pay...There not gonna dump him and just pay him over 100 million when he's so close to lifetime ban. Arod has never played baseball without chemicals...He's the guy who juiced in high school and never stopped. He hangs out with people in the fitness industry so he can stay on top of what can go into his body. I'm sure after the 2 year ban, he will have to obey to testing anytime MLB wants him too. And when that happens, he is open for sabotage. Dump some craze in his coffee and get him for speed also. The guy is done...

It's not worth the fight if he knows that he WILL fail a test in the near future and then get the lifetime ban without pay. So why not make a deal with the Yankees right now for 50 cents on the dollar and walk away? 50 million is better than zero...

arod has made a lot of bad real estate and money deals.  no one knows how much of a hit he has already taken on his estimated 300M before taxes in earners.  there's a reason why he is trying to collect the 100M.  its not about baseball anymore.

I'd bet that Arod has no more than 20 million in cash and some massive over head. If he doesn't collect any more money from his contract, I could imagine him filing for bankruptcy within 10 years...

Good post. The problem is that if they ever air the dirty laundry and all its ramifications they ll probably get ruined/killed. Because the power that be are untouchable and they know it, so if they decide to rape you, you re pretty happy to only go with a sore butt and still be alive.

Alex is  one of best athletes I have ever seen in my life

From what I understand MLB has a pretty solid case on Arod in particular, more so than some of the others. Not sure what good appealing or fighting back will do.

Even if he does come back in 2 years, which he almost certainly will attempt, that lumbering swing of his wont be condusive to a long layoff and advanced age. I don't even see how he will get on the field with a perennial powerhouse like the Yankees who have a solid farm system and have the finances to reload whenever they need.

he's on his third contract...before the last few years he was an endorsement monster. I don't know exactly how much he's worth. neither do you.  is there a reason you have to shoot people down you know nothing about ?

groink you have good people instincts... My best friend played for university of Miami (where alex went to school) he would occasionally talk to the players and I would see him train when I would visit....he wa always very friendly, quite down to earth...

game wise He moves with the gracefulness of a ballerina, he can fly, he drops 500 foot homers....when it comes to pure raw talent I know a lot of guys will say Griffey ....but I don't think people realize how big alex is,,,  looked to be about 6'4 6'5 ...as a shortstop at one time thats fucking nuts...taller than what he is listed at. ... guy to be that quick and agile at that size, No doubt in my in mind he could of played in the nfl, he really is that talented

Not to defend Arod because he is a douche but...........why did Ryan Braun only get half a year and Arod gets almost two years?

Ryan got suspended for 65 games instead of the 50 (first offense) for lying getting away with it and playing a full season after testing positive.

A Rod is just 17 Hrs away to get 6 millions (as bonus) plus 9 millions they (Yankees) have to pay just for playing in August then every time he passes  Mays,Ruth,Aaron and Bonds in records, he will get 6 millions plus 90 plus millions salary till 2017...... (Arod's case is extraordinary ) in other words, the more they delay him to get on the field the less they need to pay.

The worse part about all this is having to listen to comments and opinions of the hypocrite players who claim to be natural, the fat alcoholic cokehead cosmetic surgery and pill popping sportscasters,the WADA girls, and of course my favorite, the non exercising, nacho abusing, stained wifebeater wearing weekend athlete and his equally annoying ousin, the armchair quarterback.

Ever notice the ones that scream the most that athletes should be tarred,feathered and barred for life are the has beens, never weres, and people who did not get picked for the team as a child who tall think its just a matter of taking a pill or shot and BOOM! superstar athlete.

The worst for me is the sports media self righteous assholes. sitting in their chairs, bouncing up and down on dildos, trying to further their careers by ruining somone elses.

that kid from the eagles said something stupid, and is trying his best to make amends..and these COCKS are screaming he needs to be suspended, he's a distraction, he should be cut from the team....fucking scumbags...I'd bet the house they have all said worse, just nobody recorded it and plastered it all over creation.

If they try to ban ARod, then they need to ban Selig as well, as he was complicit in the whole steroid scandal from the get-go.  Either he knew and did nothing to help baseball return from the strike saga, or he didn't and was oblivious to what was right under his nose.  Either should be grounds for dismissal.  I hate that the media is treating him like some anti-drug crusader - he's as guilty as any of these guys.

The news has caused 5.0 aftershocks to convulse through San Pedro de Macorís. One quake was so violent that it caused Tony Fernandez's foreskin to fall clean off yesterday. He now claims he's Hebrew and only eats kosher fried plantains. Local shoeless boys with major-league dreams are reported to have found the foreskin under some heavy rubble and are at work fashioning it into a makeshift first-basemen's mitt.

American Hypocrisy. Viagra is cool for old men, and so is HGH, but steroids and HGH are bad for younger guys and athletes.
 People clamor for more, and the athletes have to take whatever to justify the breaking of records, longer seasons, and higher pay. Just like in bbing, people want to see the freaks. But, unlike bbing, the public is naive in thinking that these people are genetic phenoms that either were from the cornfields of Nebraska or the streets of the Dominican Republic and have no help whatsoever.
The head honchos want this squeaky clean image, when they know it's not the truth. Yet make billions on the hype of "long ball records falling".
