[9] Baseball now has a rule that the first offense for using steroids is a 50 game ban, second offense is 100 games. It has long had a rule that the first offense for betting on a game in which you have a duty to perform (even as a manager) is being put on the permanently ineligible list. Now we can argue whether steroid use is as bad as betting on your games but currently MLB does not make them equal. I really hate these "high horse" sports columns.

If he in ANY WAY can really equate taking steroids with gambling on baseball (on your OWN team, as manager)...well, he has no business writing for the major online sports page. I mean, it's beyond idiocy to say that... [8] Oh, i didn’t state my objection to the Gene Wojciechowski article.
