ALF the climate for PED use is much different now than it was even a few years ago when Bonds was under scrutiny. Not to mention the rules and penalties are different. Pettite wasn't swept under the rug but his case, and most of the others' were nothing close to Arod or Bonds. Arod is being singled out because of his actions and the way he has conducted himself including trying to cover-up evidence. Not sure why you haven't heard about the accusations being leveled against Arod but if you're expecting details, you're not likely to get them until at least after this is all over with, if at all. The accusations are PED use, recruiting/referring other players to the "clinic" and attempting to impede the investigation. All the while an arrogant defiant price. Ya, his case could very well have a considerable impact on the remainder of his contract but I don't think there's any reason to believe that is the motive behind the penalties.
