You're right that that's not "basically done," but once they're retired, HoF is all they have to look forward to. Being officially in disgrace is pretty done.
- Bud 4y agoYet I can cite hundreds of cases of cheating in all the major sports in which, yes, there was a suspension or other penalty, but the players or people involved were then allowed to participate again. The examples you cited are very extreme, but even in these cases, they don't support your argument. None of those players were removed from the game during their playing careers and barred. And again, those are just the most extreme cases. There are many, many less severe cases, all of which support my argument and not yours. You might want to remove Schilling from your list, btw. He hasn't been accused of any cheating; instead, he did other embarrassing things.
- Cupertino95014 4y agoIf you read what I said, I didn't claim PED violators are removed from the sport. I said that being denied HoF is not just a slap on the wrist. If you're not someone who'd be considered HoF material anyway, then the consequences are probably manageable.
