New Major League Baseball steroids policy flexes muscles with even more strict penalites
By Kyle Woodside

Major league baseball, which is one of the most
admired pastimes in the history of America, has
recently announced its new "three-strike" policy
for steroid usage after many months of tedious
negotiations in order to help maintain that admira
tion among today's youth and adults. The new
policy enforces a 50-game suspension on viola
tors for the first offense, a 100-game suspension
for the second offense, and a lifetime ban from the

majors for the third offense.
The policy also includes tests for ampheta
mines, hut the proposal might fail despite
approval from baseball team owners. The players'
union, which has gotten away with murder in
years past, must approve the policy.
Despite the advent of a tightening of the reins
on steroids, this will not magically happen. Like
any policy, implementation will not occur
overnight. Everyone is going to have their mixed
opinions on the controversy. What would be help
ful is if the players' union and the Senate followed
the proverbial communications adage: "agreeing

that they disagree." Only then will a compromise
evolve. Time will tell whether or not the dream of
non-performance enhanced baseball will become
a reality.
Should other sports try a steroids policy too?
Absolutely. Athletes in all sports use steroids of
some sort, no matter what they say. Steroid usage
is part of the job. There is so much competition in
the professional sports world that some athletes
get so obsessed with the physical prowess of their
bodies and sell themselves the idea that steroids
are a necessity, no matter what the consequences.
If the policy fails, should steroid users he

banncd from the Hall of Fame? Yes and no.
Players obviously have talent if they can hit a
baseball over a fence in a major league baseball
game, otherwise they would have never been
drafted in the first place. However, at the same
time, one has to question how long the player has
been using steroids. One will never know unless
the player openly admits it, and how many play
ers will do that? Slim to none. Like any contro
versial sports topic, it is always 50/50. Steroids
policy is no different.
Hopefully, the strength of baseball's top dogs
wins out over the strength of anabolics.
