Ban for life all the bulked-up steroids baseball cheaters
by James K. Sayre
The infamous 1919 Chicago White Sox baseball team included eight players who accepted bribes from gamblers to throw the World Series in 1919 to the Cincinnati Redlegs, and who were then expelled from baseball for life for their troubles. This tawdry episode later became known as the "Black Sox scandal".
In the same manner as the 1919 Black Sox, the modern steroids-enhanced baseball cheaters should also be banned for life from any further participation in professional baseball. Any player who has "bulked-up" with annual weight gain of twenty pounds or more should be expelled from baseball. Trim muscular in-shape adult athletes (over age 18 or 20) just don't gain that much weight in one year without the artificial aid and stimulation of testosterone, anabolic designer steroids (such as dihydrotestosterone (DHT), des-oxy-methyl testosterone (DMT), tetrahydrotestosterone (THG)), human growth hormone (HGH) or other illicit drugs.
These artificially-bulked-up cheaters have no place in the sport of baseball, because they have participated in an exceedingly unsportsmanlike manner. Ban Bonds, Sosa, Giambi and all of the other bulked-up steroids from baseball for life. Just check their annual weight records for the tell-tale twenty-pound one-year bulge.
