> **[MLB players, owners agree to tough new 'roid policy](https://www.espn.com/mlb/news/story?id=2224832)** > > Major league players and owners agreed to toughen penalties for steroid use to a 50-game suspension for a first failed test, 100 days for a second and a lifetime ban for a third. Baseball’s new proposed steroid policy is something impressive for a change. The salaries might run rampant but this policy is going to be a huge wakeup call for baseball players if it gets ratified. I for one am glad! **“The deal, which must be ratified by both sides, includes a 50-game suspension for a first failed test, 100 games for a second and a lifetime ban for a third.”** ---

what if they’re in rehab for it? I thought it was some federal law that you can’t be fired for drug abuse if you’re in rehab. Can somebody verify this?? ---

The contract baseball players sign have a stipulation to abide by whatever rules baseball proposes. So they can get fired when they screw up, no law will save them. ---

Honestly, unless its the olympics, who cares if they juice up? They could start getting bionic implants for all I care. In fact, I hope they do. The game will still be boring though, until they make it so the ball explodes on contact… 😛 ---

The game will still be boring though, until they make it so the ball explodes on contact… 😛 You can’t have something that is illegal in regular society but be allowable in baseball or some other sport. What kind of example does that set for other things? Hookers and automatic weapons would be the next thing to be allowed… 😉
