Wow that's all I gotta say is wow seriously?!?!
They should suspend him an additional 50 games for this. "Conduct detrimental to baseball"
Banned for life...
"Morally indefensible and absolutely necessary..."
If you are looking at punishing the player....you are failing to look far enough. Bud Selig and his merry band of owners make the rules and control the enforcement. Every once in awhile there has to be a scapegoat......how else would we know that they are "trying?"

I agree with Low Finish. There should be an additional punishment (10 games?) for an attempted cover up. That was truly pathetic.
PA Dino - I've got to see that Bourne movie. But, I fail to make the connection. It looks to me like Melky did a great job making himself the scapegoat, and major league dunce (subsequent cover up attempt). Selig is just enforcing what the collective bargaining agreement states.

See the movie.
I’ll pose a few questions. Who has benefited more from the use of performance enhancers? And who has done less to remove them from the game? Until Congress started poking around was there anything being done about PEDs?
Members of this website, more than others, I would think would be sensitive to the real danger that faces their baseball prospect children in the game. And it is not limited to MLB. It reaches down into college and even the showcase and travel circuit during the high school years.
An analogy: Lack of institutional control – Penn State. Lack of organizational control – MLB.
Where is the punishment for owners,teams,agents? There is none. When one warrior is taken off the front line, another is sent in. Many players feel it is morally indefensible to take PEDs but the same players feel it is absolutely necessary to compete.

Well, it's one heck of a story. Entertaining to me, but at least it didn't work like the loophole Braun got through.
A question worth asking is would the illicit use continue if you allowed players/civilians to use with the supervision of a doctor? There actually is a pretty safe way to use steroids and one would have to wonder if it would be better to regulate their use than to let the inmates run the asylum, so to speak. It certainly offers a competitive advantage, but so does having a better trainer, diet, coach, genetics, etc. Steroids are an unfair advantage because they can't be legally obtained. The main question here is whether the illegal use would continue in order to use more/more often.
I would like to know how many MLB players are on Testosterone Replacement Therapy. With "low" natural testosterone levels or sometimes just symptoms of low testosterone levels, you can start a regimen of supplemental testosterone. Most can find this extremely beneficial to their workout regimen and there is absolutely some flexibility to dose very highly. The most popular AndroGel that you'll see on TV ads was made possible by the creations of the true mastermind behind The Cream/The Clear, Patrick Arnold.
