ESPN is reporting that Major League Baseball will seek to suspend about 20 players connected to the Miami-area clinic at the heart of an ongoing performance-enhancing-drug scandal, possibly within the next few weeks. The players include New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez, currently on the disabled list, and Ryan Braun, the Milwaukee Brewer outfielder named the National League's most valuable player in 2011. Both ESPN and the Associated Press reported the clinic's founder, Anthony Bosch, has agreed to talk to Major League Baseball about players linked to performance-enhancing drugs. After a game Tuesday, Braun said he was done talking about the clinic and that "the truth has not changed," according to the AP. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said the team had no comment.

AFL can't hide Essendon. Get rid of the lot of em.......

Can we wipe away the 148 point loss to Essendon as they were on Drugs when they beat the MFC,

That will greatly reduce our losing margin.

MLB sanctions for these players if found to have used PEDs is expected to be 50 games.

This is equivalent to 7 matches in AFL or about a third of a season.

If recent history in Baseball is anything to go by these same players will return to multi million dollar contracts, with several possibly reoffending within 3-5 years.

If found guilty a second time their penalty doubles to 100 games or 2/3rds of one season.

Again they then return to huge money contracts.

I would suggest MLB penalties are akin to receiving 1000 lashes with a feather.

ESPN baseball commentators, many who are ex-players are expressing disbelief at the leniency those found guilty receive, especially those who have reoffended.

Get rid of Essendon because of their supplement intake will that include Trengrove and and a fews other Dees,just what the dees need.

Much thought has been put into your'e article;just kidding.Think about this:- possible draft sanctions and loss of premership points for the Dons and the Dees in 2014.

The dons will recover in a year or two, the Dees will become extinct as a victorian side.......bring back the do do bird.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
