Major League Baseball is seeking to suspend former baseball megastar Alex Rodriguez, rising star Ryan Braun and about 20 others for their alleged connection to Biogenesis and illegal performance enhancing steroids.
In particular, MLB is seeking to suspend A-Rod, 37, and Braun more than 100 games because, if the allegations are true, it would represent a second violation of the league’s banned chemical substance policies. MLB is currently in talks with Biogenesis founder Anthony Bosch, who supplied PEDs and other illicit drugs to major and minor league althetes, to divulge information that could lead to the greatest steroid scandal in the history of American sports. The New York Yankees, desperate to get out of paying A-Rod more than $20 million a year an aging, broken down, disgraced star, would welcome a suspension and would also work to void A-Rod exorbitant contract. But the Players Association would have a lot to pushback if the Yankees ever tried such a move, guilty or not.
We know this for sure: if it were left up to real estate carnival barker Donald Trump, A-Rod would have already been fired.
I can’t believe the Yankees continue to pay A Rod – they have a perfect right to stop paying (and should have stopped a long time ago).

Both A-Rod and Braun vehemently deny having any connection to the Miami-based anti-aging company Biogenesis. But Bosch told investigators that he injected A-Rod himself and that he has proof of transactions with the beleaguered star. Take a look at the Twitter responses to the growing national scandal:
