Whether or not the players deserve to have good reputations, they had their reputations severely damaged by the government’s criminal actions.

No matter what happens to the prosecutor who leaked the info, Ramirez, A-Rod, et al, will never regain their reputations.

I wonder what Babe Ruth used instead of steroids.
I’m actually serious. I hate the way all ballplayers are treated now because of the suspicions.

Exactly what reputation do confirmed juicers like A-Rod and Ramirez have to protect?

I'm sick to death that the full list of hasn't been released. The reason why is MLB is trying to protect whats left of their image as "Americas pastime" thats been run through the mud by these cheating Aholes and MLB trying to sweep it all under the rug. And everyone wants to live in fantasyland that these are just isolated incidents because the truth is too ugly for many to face.

MLB salaries have increased by over 600% over the past 20 years. Mostly on the back of performance drugs, not on their natural abilities. And even though they finally passed a league ban on them, juicers like Ramirez are still trying to find ways and science to mask it. He just got busted for this crap this past spring.

A-rod has been knicknamed "Cat Tits" by other players because when he arrives for spring training, his chest muscles are all screwed up from all the roids & growth hormone drugs he's been on during the offseason, and then the drugs he takes to quickly rebalance his hormones by March. Cat Tits is currently paid over 20 million a year.

Not a single player caught juicing should enter cooperstown. And that's not even going to hurt them all that much because most of them are only in it for the money and rockstar lifesytle. But it would still be a symbolic victory. But they should also be banned from MLB for life. That will hit these overpaid juicers right were it hurts, in the ego and wallet.
