SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) a Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig wants tougher penalties for major league players who violate the sport's drug contract. Talking at a conference on Saturday, Selig says the situation surrounding last year's positive drug test of All-Star recreation MVP Melky Cabrera and the allegations people received forbidden materials from a now closed Florida anti-aging center helped lead him to seek stiffening of penalties as quickly as possible. He declined to provide any details of what he'd in your mind, expressing MLB Executive Vice President Rob Manfred and people' connection head Michael Weiner will meet. Selig says he wants increased charges "as expeditiously as possible." Because 2006, preliminary infractions cause a 50-game suspension and 2nd offenses in a 100-game bar. No player has been punished a time, which results in a lifetime suspension.
