If he did these things, then he deserves to go to jail.

There seems to be a lot of intentionally misleading confusion about what's going on here.

If ARod funded the operation, or was a co-owner, that's a lot different than being a customer:

"Rodriguez may become a target if investigators discover that he put up money for the drug ring’s operations, or if prosecutors believe they can prove that Rodriguez steered Major League Baseball players and other professional athletes to Biogenesis, the sources said. Sucart and another defendant, Juan Carlos Nunez, recruited pro athletes for the clinic, Ferrer said on Tuesday, telling them that Bosch was a doctor who could provide them with undetectable testosterone lozenges and syringes."

It's just speculation at this point? This seems to be nothing more than click bait.


"Rodriguez could also face obstruction, witness tampering or other charges. The MLB officials who presented evidence of Rodriguez’s doping history to arbitrator Fredric Horowitz in A-Rod’s battle to upend his drug suspension last year claimed that Rodriguez had purchased Biogenesis documents in order to destroy them or block investigators from obtaining them."

I am not a legal expert, but I know enough about obstruction of justice to know that it refers to obstructing the investigations of legal authorities.

MLB officials are simply not legal authorities.

You can lie to them all day -- morning, noon, and night -- and you can't go to jail for doing it. Maybe get fired, maybe get suspended, but that's a far cry from going to jail.


Now, my guess is that the obstruction charges would stem from the fact that ARod tried to hide the evidence. Duh.

"Not drugs. Food."

But we end up right back where we started. Thousands of players used, they all hid the evidence. Nobody went to jail.
