Well, we are smack in the middle of the story that won't go away. It's baseball's version of herpes. Just when you think the steroid story is over, it comes back inflamed worse than before. So, how do we deal with this era? Here are some suggestions...
1. Bud Selig should resign.
2. The records should revert back. So, Hank Aaron is still the all-time homer champ and Roger Maris is the single season homer champ.
3. Barry Bonds, Rafael "It was just a vitamin" Palmero, Miguel Tejada, Mark McGwire, and other known roid users will be banned from Hall of Fame consideration.
4. All the names from the 2003 test should be released.
5. Alex Rodriguez will have his career statistics reset to take into account the 2001-2003 seasons. A-Rod and others with positive tests will be tested regularly.
6. The current steroid policy will remain in place and reviewed annually. If it does not seem to be working, then a first positive will result in a year suspension and a second positive will result in a life time ban.
This won't happen, but it should. The union would throw a hissy fit. A vocal minority of idiots, er fans, that support some of these players would complain. But, it would teach people that cheaters do not prosper.
