Report: A-Rod could be facing a lifetime ban

 

According to CBS Evening News’ Jim Axelrod, Alex Rodriguez could be facing a lifetime ban from MLB.

 
Ryan Braun was given a 65-game suspension on Monday for his involvement in the Biogenesis PED clinic and reports from ESPN have stated that the evidence against A-Rod is "far beyond" what Major League Baseball investigators had on the Brewers star. Rodriguez is presumably going to attempt to work out a deal with the commissioner's office, but if MLB has enough evidence it could look to push the 37-year-old third baseman out for good. There's much more to come.
 
 
Comeeee on and void his contract lol.

USA Today's Bob Nightengale reports that Alex Rodriguez has no intention of negotiating a settlement with Major League Baseball and would appeal any potential suspension.

 
A report earlier Tuesday from CBS Evening News’ Jim Axelrod said that A-Rod is looking to cut a deal with MLB, but Nightengale is hearing otherwise. Axelrod's report says that the third baseman could be looking at a possible lifetime ban from MLB. CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reported Monday that A-Rod's suspension is expected to be announced within the next 2-3 weeks.

I hope this happens. I just wish they could take the Yankees' last championship away from them, too. He was making other worldly plays during that run, jacking pitches like they were barely a blip on his radar, and he never lost the absurd only-achievable-with-help physique. The guy should fall like Armstrong fell.

There are over 20 players connected to biogenesis alone. Good bet that there are other clinics that are similar. Stripping the Yankees of a title would require the MLB to strip any team that had a PED user of all their team accomplishments. Won't happen, ever.

I really do feel that Braun should at least be stripped of his MVP. Give it to Kemp.
