I am no Arod apologist. He cheated everybody in the stands, on his team and in the league. He played games with drugs repeatedly and lied repeatedly about his use of PED's. But...
...this is a lifetime ban (if the rumors are true). Man baseball has done it before...Shoeless Joe Jackson comes to mind and I wished he had played a bit longer.
Maybe at Arod's age a 3-year ban would be as good as lifetime....
Oh, and his salary losses could be as high as 100 Mil...endorsements too. I don't know any fine or penalty that high.
Just saying...
I do understand differing opinions.
