I hope they ban him for life. I am tired of athletes lying about performance drug use. All of his records mean nothing now.

I'm so sick of pro athletes cheating, in any manner. They're supposed to be role models for kids and they live the lives young athletes can only dream of. And then they disappoint millions of fans. I used to respect him so much but now he just disgusts me. I hope they ban him for life as well

They all use drugs and they all cheat. Including coaches, owners, and the people running the show. Its only when the public finds out that it becomes a problem. Same thing with Lance Armstrong. He was cheating against a field of cheaters.

I hope they don't ban him for life. I don't want the Yankees to be off the hook in terms of his contract.

I'm sure Cashman is pressuring Selig to ban him though.

Something that baseball needs to do is strip all any and all records, stats and titles from these guys, like they do in the Olympics, i.e., Ben Johnson, Marion Jones or even like they did to Lance Armstrong.

It ruins the integrity of the game. There's a domino effect. You start blasting hits and home runs, the ERA of the pitcher goes up, which effects how much he makes. There a minor league pitcher who missed the cut to the majors to one of the guys suspended today, and he's blasting away at him today on Twitter.

Ban Rodriguez for life or re-instate Pete.
