11/02: Lawton Suspended For Steroids
Posted by: James
Matt Lawton tested positive for steroids.
I guess that this is the mystery roider that was discussed last week but as for someone that people will care about... well, and I apologize to all the Matt Lawton fans out there but... I don't really care. With the Yankees, he batted .125 (6-for-48) with two homers and four RBIs so if those were steroid-induced stats, I think even Matt would be the first to say that they should be thrown out.
Seriously though, I personally am happy that more people are getting caught because in theory, it should level out the playing field. However, I'm a realist and I figure that as long as the carrot of a multi-million dollar contract is dangling, there will always be some people who are willing to cheat to get there.
