Seems just like a bunch of talk, Selig trying to sound like Sheriff.

Reinstating the record, that is pretty interesting, it seems like a really throw-back response. Probably just a bunch of bull too.

There’s no way MLB should suspend A-Rod in 2009 for testing positive in 2003. All of the other players still active now that tested positive then would need to be suspended, too. Barry Bonds should keep his all-time home run record. MLB turned a blind eye to the problem while Bonds was allegedly juicing. It’s MLB’s fault that Bonds has the record for being his enabler, so Barry should keep the record.

… given that there was no penalty in 2003 and that these test results were supposed to be private.

As usual, the wrong reaction at the wrong time from King Bud.

Bud should suspend himself and redistribute his ridiculous salary to his paying customers.

They agreed with this testing in 2003 that there would be no penalty.
If you take Bonds’ record away, then you have to rewrite the entire rulebook to account for when black players weren’t allowed to play.
I hope he does try and suspend A-Rod, so that the Yankees and the Union sue his ass.

If he were to suspend A-Rod, this would set me off like nothing steroid related ever has. It is my belief that there are two reasons why steroids in baseball remain such a huge story:

1) Baseball is “The American Pastime” Football is just entertainment that’s exquisitely packaged, but baseball is a part of the American heart and soul. The same sentimentality will never exist for football despite the TV rating numbers.

2) That MLB and the Union have never fully or partially taken responsibility for thier contribution to the steroid mess which is equally as great as the player’s responsibilities. I think the American public sees MLB and the Union as the hypocrites that they are.

who have admitted? Pettite, Brian Roberts, etc.
