Yeah, great code of conduct. Performance enhancing drugs and testing are iffy at best.
Drug testing is hardly an exact science, unless it is done randomly and on multiple occasions. It took years for MLB to get to any testing because the Player's Union resisted for selfish and for legitimate reasons. And the testing policy now in effect provides penalties far short of the testing done by the Olympics which has a two year ban for the FIRST offense. But Baseball does have a testing program with teeth.
it's okay for both benches to empty in a childish brawl on the field; get a DUI, get suspended for four days you aren't scheduled to pitch anyway; etc.
Wow, only basball players are guilty of such behavior? And suspensions are money penalties(loss of pay) and are imposed with no regard to any pitching assignments.
But bet on your team to win? String that SOB up and never let him down.
Pete Rose lied and denied every step of the way in the sordid story of his gambling. To agree with his assertion that he only bet on the Reds to win is to wallow in his deceit with him. He admits his lies only when it is time to hawk a book or sell some more autographs.
Yep, those are definitely the roll(sic) models I would want my child to follow.....if I wanted him to grow up to be a despot.
Well, then maybe he could become a bagel, instead?
