BASEBALL STEROIDS

If you follow sports or even just the news in generaly you have heard the recent news. Jason Giambi of the New York Yankees has admitted to taking steroids, becoming the 3rd MVP to admit to taking steroids in the past 5 years, joining Jose Canseco and Ken Caminiti. Also, Barry Bonds, one of the greatest ever, has said he took a form of steroids but did not know they were steroids. My first question is this: This could possibly be four great players who have won MVP's and have set many records. So should Major League Baseball take away their MVP's or their records? Should there be an asterick in the record books saying they took possibly took steroids when breaking these records? These are many questions MLB commish Bud Selig will be debating soon. Giambi is also facing losing his contract with the Yankees because of admitting to steroids. Should he lose all this money he was possibly going to make. Baseball is on the downfall right now. There are many other players out there as well who are taking steroids and just have not got caught yet. Is this going to hurt the income of MLB teams in now? Are fans going to start to boycott games. Things could get interesting. And teams could possibly lose money, but will they lose so much it could hurt them? Just some questions for everyone to think about a little. Some Econ related some not. But all interesting.
