Why is Alex Rodriguez still allowed to play baseball?

When an Olympic star is caught using Steroids, they are stripped of their medal. Why is Alex Rodriguez still playing baseball, and why isn’t everyone upset about it? He’s a cheater. From what I understand he used for 2 years.
So what… Lets clean up the cheaters. This guys a cheater and he’s a hero? What message are we teaching our children? Its okay to cheat. as long as you omit to it after your caught??? Wow, that sucks.
My point is they should all go…. There are plenty of young stars that can take their place.

MLB, like all other “professional” sports, is about 1 thing and 1 thing only……..

The Magic of the Medals $3.98 The Magic of the Medals : Discover the Winner Within by Kim D. Fellwock Published in 1996 by KatMar Publishing

Renaissance Medals $99.98 The National Gallery of Art houses the single most important collection of portrait medals in the United States. This two-volume catalogue examines in depth these holdings, comprising more than eight hundred medals. Providing detailed technical information-including the alloy composition of each medal-drawn from careful research, observation, and analysis, Renaissance Medals breaks new ground in the scholarly literature of the field. Included are objects from the Gallery’s Widener Collection, the Baskin Collection, and other recent acquisitions. Medals from the Gallery’s Samuel H. Kress Collection, previously published in a catalogue by G. F. Hill and J. Graham Pollard in 1967, are also examined. Volume 2 of Renaissance Medals documents the Gallery’s collection of German medals of the sixteenth century, French baroque medals, and smaller, though no less significant, groups of Netherlandish and English medals. Guillaume Dupre’s splendid gilded copper medal in the French group celebrates the second birthday of the heir, the future Louis XIII, son of Henri IV and Marie de’ Medici. The medal’s reverse depicts the king and queen in the guise of Roman deities Mars and Pallas Athena, with the child Louis holding the helmet of Mars and resting one foot on a dolphin. If a royal birthday was considered an occasion deserving a commemorative medal, so also was a battlefield victory. The impressive Waterloo Medallion, included in the English group, commemorates the final defeat of Napoleon. Pistrucci, the medal’s creator, conceived his work as a statement of the personal triumph of the rulers and commanders involved. Interested readers should also refer to Volume 1 of Renaissance Medals, which focuses on the Gallery’s superb collection of Italian Renaissance medals-unique in their quality, number, and diversity. Both landmark volumes will serve scholars and specialists of Renaissance art, as well as those who appreciate history and culture.
