way way way less drugs now than in the 1920s,1930s,1940s,1950s, 1960s.1970s
and the derugs used now days arent near as strong as drugs used in years past. the biggest difference is tests. get rid of drugs the sport couldnt exist.

It wasn't really a penalty or a fine, they basically wanted him out of the sport for good.

I don't think he will get to first base with this, if they take away the power of the regulators, this means a open gate for anyone to collect.
