Just another drug dealer.

Nothing motivates me to post like seeing a soccer/Sever post at the top of our blog.
And nothing makes me laugh more than a good ol' slap-on-the-wrist sentance. Patrick Arnold, the chemist who developed the undetectable steriod, "the clear" was sentanced today. The verdict? Three months in prison and three months of house arrest.
I've seen worse sentances for marijuana possession and underage drinking.
Arnold, who has been given the great title of "rogue chemist," has no doubt made millions from the invention of his magic steroid. In the process he has arguably "ruined" America's pastime. At best, he has tainted the fan-favorite long ball and ruined our image of baseball superstars.
"The defendant bears a heavy burden for his key role in effectively polluting professional sports with drugs which were designed to cheat the system," prosecuters said in court papers.
*AHEM* The defendant bears a heavy burden for his key role in effectively polluting professional sports with drugs which were designed to cheat(ing) the system.
If I'm Arnold, I'm more than happy to do my time (if you can call it that).

Happy to do my part.
But I'm confused. A slap-on-the-wrist sentence to the guy who you say ruined the game you love makes you laugh? I'd find it more sad and/or enraging than that.
It's a popular belief that he ruined the game. I actually think he saved it.
The Sammy/Big Mac year saved baseball. Both were clearly on steroids. Therefore, steroids saved baseball.
OK, I see what you're saying. But it still seems kind of sad that it needed a sham and breaking the rules to save the game.
You gotta spend money to make money, Seve.
