Story Behind My Topic

Do you think it is right that a baseball player gets paid millions of dollars to play baseball but does not even play the game the fair way?  Do you also think that if a baseball player gets caught with performance enhancing drugs, he should not just get suspended for just 50 games?  I say that is unacceptable. I want baseball players to get banned for life from the league.  What I noticed throughout the years is the increase in performance enhancing drugs.  I am sure right now there is a player taking a performance enhancing drug.  There are some famous baseball players that took them.  For example, Alex Rodriguez took them. He took steroids. He is still considered in the 600 home run club. I think that they should ban people who take them.  If they get paid millions of dollars to play this sport, then they should be able to play it without cheating.
