Suspended 50 games for PEDs per ESPN

Oh snap.

If I read the USA Today article correctly, there is a silver lining. Dusty won't have much of a chance to screw him up this season.

[YeAuldBroade]

Well sucks to be him.

Not like it matters he can serve it while on the DL.

No he can't. The Cubs tried that, while also under Dusty's tenure, with Kerry Wood when he got suspended once.

"Volquez is recovering from surgery on his right elbow and is expected back around midseason. Volquez can serve the suspension while on the disabled list, Courtney told ESPN.com, and will lose a little less than one-third of his $445,000 salary."

I think that MDF is right, he can't serve the suspension on the DL. If that were the case then there'd be no point in suspending him because he wouldn't be playing anyway due to injury.

"The suspension of Volquez, who is on the 60-day disabled list, will be effective on Wednesday. He can serve the time while on the DL but will lose 50 games worth of pay."

Idiot! You would think these guys would have learned by now.

 

Ok, I just read most of the story on ESPN and if he is not lying to us; I kind of feel bad. I hope he is telling the truth.

He's lying.

There are medical exemptions that are easily obtained. He didn't get one.

Yeah, I am sure he is. It is freaking ridiculous if you ask me that some of them still try and get away with PEDs. Maybe the MLB should go with a life time ban from baseball. That would stop them.

Yes, 50 games is too little.

 

First offense should be 1 year ban, second lifetime.

[MDF3530]

I agree. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

 

Unfortunately Bud Selig doesn't have the guts to do it.

He gets pushed around by the union.

I like that a lot.
