Mike Trout: Ban PED users for life

 

[The God of Runs]

Trout wants to find a loophole to get rid of Hamilton and Pujols. So, he can play with REAL baseball players like Shuck and Nelson. 

[GalericX]

Good for him

No harsher penalties can be passed down without approval from the MLBPA. Baseball is enjoying record TV contracts and attendance. Do you really think they are interested in ending PED use? ARod is being singled out because the Yankees are a .500 team and need salary relief. McGuire, Sosa and the other ' roiders of the 90's saved the game with the blessing of Selig and the owners. There has been no call for sweeping changes to the penalties by MLB Or the MLBPA because the game is too successful right now.

There has been some form of cheating in the game forever without consequence. We will see if the owners are truly ready to make the necessary changes to the drug testing policy and the resultant penalties.

He wants to win an MVP eventually.

[Ray McKigney]

I think he's willing to say it because none of the players that have been named/suspended are teammates. If someone on the Angels were to get caught, I don't think he'd be singing the same tune. When there is no personal connection then it is easier to pass judgement.

[nate]

He is absolutely right.  I don't get how cheaters are allowed back into the game.

[Troll Daddy]

I don't like the idea of reporters pressuring our young players into answering questions that aren't team related.

[seenoevil]

Another reason why  Trout shouldn't go play for the Yankees. The New York media will blow every little thing out of proportion. Come stay with us Trout, it is more quiet over here.

[Ohtaniland]

Trout is right but politically incorrect for expressing his personal feelings publicly about this issue. Sadly because of Bub Selig's convenient blindness, Mike Trout probably lost about 300 friends today.

Lol @ "pass judgment."

[Troll Daddy]

I prefer the baseball way ... three strikes and you're out!

[vlad27]

Good for him - he plays the game the right way and has worked hard to get this level . Must be frustrating to see other guys taking the easy way out - I'm glad he said what he said

[Angelsjunky]

I think he'd be wise to keep his mouth shut.

[shellback]

he's right.

i worry abut him politically because selig does not really want ped's out of baseball.

the whole recent uproar over peds has been nothing but a dog and pony show by mlb to act like they want peds out of baseball.

mlb only started giving a shit when they were threatened with losing thier antitrust exemption.

[Troll Daddy]

Trout said this in a casual interview with a New York radio station. Because Trout is who he is ... The press is now making this story bigger than life.
