- no gravy? -- nm - peglegpete Sep 19, 12:13 2

- That's crap. Anyone caught cheating shouldn't be eligible for awards or accolades. - Krusty Sep 19, 12:05 6
  - Truthfully, it probably has to be negotiated with the union because of contractual monetary awards and whatnot. -- nm - spamlet Sep 19, 12:10

  - Should the team have to forfeit their season too? -- nm - Don Homer Sep 19, 12:06 3
    - Maybe. They benefited from his cheating. As I just wrote below, they do it in college sports all the time. -- nm - Krusty Sep 19, 12:09
    - yes and play with one hand tied behind their backs. -- nm - decline Sep 19, 12:09

  - how about starting with not letting cheaters win major awards? -- nm - Beaker Sep 19, 11:45 28
    - they give fishnet leg lamps to batting average winners? - dogbert Sep 19, 11:52
    - It's not an award though. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 19, 11:49 3
      - The batting title isn;t an award? -- nm - Beaker Sep 19, 11:51 2
        
        Not really. It's a stat. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 19, 11:51
        
        It is a curse! -- nm - Spawn Sep 19, 11:51

      - ruled ineligible for any award in the year caught. Done and done. -- nm - Beaker Sep 19, 11:47 19
        
        you can't change the past, but going forward this is an easy addition to the rules -- nm - Beaker Sep 19, 11:48 18
        
        It's not an award though. it's a performance. You'll need to remove them from the box scores. - Will Hunting Sep 19, 11:51 17
        
        the game stats stay, he's just ineligible due to testing positive. -- nm - Beaker Sep 19, 11:51 16

        due to cheating. Should boxers who win and then test positive get to keep their Championship belt? -- nm - Beaker Sep 19, 11:53 12
        
        The belt is a reward owned by the sanctioning body. The batting title is math. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 19, 11:53 2
        
        so I juice up and hit 80 home runs in the first 100 games. Get caught, I should still win the HR title? - Beaker Sep 19, 11:57 1
        
        yes -- nm - Don Homer Sep 19, 12:01
        
        Lance Armstrong just lost all of his. This isn;t that hard. He was the fastest but got their through cheating. -- nm - Beaker Sep 19, 11:53 8
        
        it's easy for an individual sport. if you are taking away melky's stats, you have to take away the giants wins. -- nm - dogbert Sep 19, 12:03 7
        
        he bats with his teammates? -- nm - Beaker Sep 19, 12:09 5
        
        did his hit produce runs that helped the team win? -- nm - dogbert Sep 19, 12:15 4
        
        sure, but he batted alone -- nm - Beaker Sep 19, 12:16 3
        
        he also played in the field along with his team -- nm - dogbert Sep 19, 12:18 2
        
        what does that have to do with him winning the batting title? -- nm - Beaker Sep 19, 12:19 1
        
        if you take away his batting title, you have to take away his stats. if you take away his stats, you have to take away his teams wins. this is the - dogbert Sep 19, 12:22
        
        Maybe they should do that too. His cheating helped them win. They do it in college sports. They vacate whole seasons and titles. - Krusty Sep 19, 12:09
