ok so here me out for a sec. Moneyball is working again in Oakland and the A's might be the biggest surprise on the season but Colon cheated and won 10 games. Those are 10 huge wins in their playoff drive. Shouldn't they be forfeited? I think you could make an argument that they should.

When an Olympian test positive for an illegal substance, they take away his/her medals right? Don't they also take away the medals for the whole team in the Olympics? If Lebron for example tested for steroids would the USA lose their gold?

Poor SF Giants, after forfeiting the games in which they played Melky Cabrera, they might have less wins overall than the Astros on the road :D

Interesting concept for sure...would be sure to create a fire storm.

They take wins away from CFB teams for less.

and also, don't you think that the GM and trainers will be forced to make sure they are clean and not cheating. Even the player knowing that he could really screw shit up for his teammates might be less likely to cheat. Maybe not.
