David Ortiz says players who test positive for steroids should be suspended from baseball for the whole season.

Ortiz wants season-long ban for steroid users

Yes, steroids might be wrong but come on. A season ban? Thats a little extreme and could make for some boring seasons to come if mega-hitters are suspended for a season haha. It would take them time to get it through their heads that "oh i guess i can't take this anymore" and then they would maybe go a season without suspension. From a viewer stand point, if it is what makes them hit so many home-runs (most of them) then what the hell. That's exciting. Sure it gives them an un fair advantage so it should be regulated but i disagree with a season ban.

how is that extreme? not extreme enough. life time ban for those who test positive. No one would touch the stuff if that rule was in place. Steroids take away from the game
