Those players that use drugs are cheaters; this type of behavior displays an unfair advantage over other players that play for the love of the game. Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco among many other players that used drugs to enhance their performance have made a mockery of MLB.

3. Third positive test results: a 60-day suspension or up to a $50,000 fine;

4. Fourth positive test result: a one year suspension or up to a $100,000 fine;

5. Any subsequent positive test result by a Player results in the Commissioner imposing further discipline on the Player.

Clearly, these penalties are too lien for players with salaries ...
