Steroid Policy

The steroid policy before was if you tested positive five times then action would take place and players would get suspended. Baseball officials came up with a stricter policy that states that random offseason testing will take place and first time offenders will be suspended for 10 days. During the season every player will undergo a random testing, and players will be selected randomly. First time offenders will be suspended for 10 days, second time offenders will be suspended for 30 days, third time offenders will be suspended for 60 days, fourth time offenders will be suspended for a year. All suspensions will be without pay. I think this policy works, but its only going to slow down the use of steroids. I don't think that league officials can stop the use of steroids and performance enhancer drugs.
