Apparently getting suspended for PED’s means you get a raise. What’s stopping anyone from doing it? #weneedtomakeachange

I had 2 major surgeries in 5 months and made it back clean, nothing pisses me off more than guys that cheat and get raises for doing so

Nice stand by David, and I hope he doesn’t catch unnecessary grief over it.
But he is right. What do we teach our children? That you might miss a third of a season but the next season you will make more money?
I can only assume that Aardsma was that vocal in his union rep meetings and during each of the CBA agreements he has sat through?
No, probably he wasn’t, so it is on the I don’t know who based on his “tweet” to change things.
If the owners added a punitive approach to those suspended they would be taken to court for collusion.
