Will the Yankees finally dump a-roid?

I think he is done with the Yanks, unfortunately I also think he will get paid.

I dunno. I was looking forward to him coming up short of Hank Aaron while still in pinstripes. :-D

You can thank the players association for him not being your problem

The MLBPA will make sure he gets paid unless the Yankees have some escape clause for illegal drug use or fraud (meaning he signed the agreement and it contained a clause in it specified he was not using PEDS around the time he signed it).

With recovery time from surgery and the 50 game suspension he's likely get hit with it's pretty certain he won't play this season.

If there was ever a poster boy for what roids actually do to the body it is A-roid the hemroid. I dabbled with roids a few times and what happens is the ability to lift more longer adds so much stress on tendons and joints they break down and wear out quicker. I was lucky enough to have a trainer who knew this and really focused on making those stronger before I wnet real heavy. I got large but found out no matter how much I stretched out to keep limber my shear mass made golf hard. I was 315lbs at my largest with only 11% body fat. Now I am down to 260 lean out lost a lot of mass hit it further much more fluid swing. Plus my golf cart likes me a lot better now.

I'm a cardiac physiologist and I've seen roid abusers who have completely ruined their hearts.... Remember that the heart is also a muscle! THESE YANKEES NEED TO STOP!!
