    Probably taking reinvention lessons from his old buddy Madonna. I'd sure like to know what HOF, retired and active players are in support of his actions.

    I just hope we never see that guy in a Yankee uniform again. I cannot stand the sight of him. Now let's forget about a fraud and let's move on to Tanaka and more important issues with this team.

    ...I think the fact that no one is coming to his defense and sticking up for him pretty much answers that.

    ...I don't think there's any way the Yanx can afford to have him in the clubhouse or on the field again...he's burned all his bridges and is all alone on an island.

    The reality is setting in. His speech in Mexico last night was just bizarre. A complete 180 in most ways.

    Tough to randomly test him if he spends his time out of the country. No way he can stop.

    I believe players have to alert the league on their where abouts.

    ^^^yup, I think they are required to be available for tests. Not sure of the frequency but while a player is on suspension for PEDs, aren't they tested more often?

    I can't see how you would continuously test a player you have suspended for one year.

    ...not "continuously" but again, from what I understand, previous and/or current offenders are tested more often than other players.

    You're not alone, I heard the same. That even players while under suspension are still required to get random testing.
