No doubt you have heard or read recently of the two baseball players who tested positive for steroids or was it stupidity? They claim it was an accident! How can it be an accident? Were they asleep when the swallowed the pills?
And they want to be role models for our kids. I think there is something wrong.
So I have a solution.
Being suspended for ten days is not enough. The punishment is like a slap on hand for stealing cookies from the cookie jar.
I purpose that if the players are tested positive for steroids or any other drug which might influence their performance, they are fined one third (1/3) of their total salary.
Do you think they would get the message?
And if the player does need steroids for a real medical problem, then have three doctors sign off on the prescription. And have one of the doctors actually give the medicine each and every time to the player.
Then the players could not say it was an accident.
But knowing them, they would have yet another excuse.
How about socking the coach with a similar fine?
