According to today's newspaper, Sammy's suspension is WITH pay.
"Sosa earns more than $70,000 per game and stood to lose nearly $500,000 because it's written in his contract that he would not be paid if the commissioner's office suspended him. But the clause is moot because baseball's Collective Bargaining Agreement supercedes the contract and explicitly stipulates that all players must be paid while on the suspended list."
So he's caught cheating and he gets a paid vacation.
Wow. That'll teach him.
