A-Rod appears ready to accept the penalty for using performance-enhancing drugs.
Notices of dismissal in lawsuits were filed in Manhattan.
The suspended Yankees player will see out a season-long suspension - longest ever sentence dealt in a drug case in the history of baseball.
He never denied, under oath, the charges against him and never took the stand in his own defense in front of baseball’s arbitrator.
One of the ugliest chapters in baseball history is finally over. Some suggested that A-Rod's counsel played to his vanity, gave him terrible advice, made a fortune off him and doomed him to being the baseball pariah he will quickly discover he has become.
To end doping in sport and create an example for the young.... He should be paying back, the club, whatever money he made while under the influence. That should be in every player's contract.
Just a thought
