Grippi: Baseball Bans Change Nothing

Does baseball’s actions yesterday, in which it suspended 13 players either for the rest of the season – the non-Alex-Rodriguez dozen – or for the rest of this season and all of next – Rodriguez – mean the sport is now clean? Heck no. That’s the only thing I’m sure of. There are still guys out there, stars, average players, guys just trying to get by, who are using some sort of PEDs to get an edge. There is too much money at stake, the consequences too minimal – yesterday’s actions included – not to push the envelope. These guys, along with Ryan Braun earlier this season, were only caught because the place where they received their fix was brought down by a disgruntled employee or two/ Vince Grippi , A Grip on Sports, SportsLink.
