2. I imagine nothing will be done ...
... given that the steroids policy is pretty lax.

5. And MLB hyped the 3000th hit knowing he tested positive
Something's not right here. I honestly don't think MLB is taking this as seriously as they should.

"Raffy" was tested in May and found positive

"Raffy" appealed in May

"Raffy" (for whatever reason) holds off on his outing and suspension until DAYS after he hits 3000

"Raffy" is then suspended for 10 games.

i'm trying to figure out how that happens. :shrug: :hi:
