Since Bonds tested positive for amphetamine does that mean.....?

Question

He will be suspened the 50 games? or will Giants even resign him now?

Answer 1

Under the rules for amphetamine testing, which were adopted last year, a first positive test is supposed to remain anonymous, with the player going into a clinical tract and subject to subsequent increased testing. A second positive test for amphetamine use nets the release of the player's name and a 25-game suspension.

This differs from the steroids policy, which was strengthened last year, but has been in effect in some shape or form since 2003. For steroids, MLB uses the so-called "three strikes and you're out" approach with no anonymity attached to a positive test. A first positive results in a 50-game suspension, a second a 100-game suspension and the third a lifetime ban with the ability to appeal for reinstatement after two years.

Answer 2

I think at the second time he is caught taking them, he will be suspended for 25 games. The 1st time is just a warning. But if he got caught with steroids there is no warning, and it would be a 50 game suspension.

Answer 3

The 1st time is just a warning, the second time he is caught he will be suspended for 25 games.
The Giants will sign him!!

Answer 4

Giants will probably resign him but put in holes in the contract if he gets suspended they can release him or something. Amphetamine's aren't the biggest deal in baseball though think of it as takin a lot of red bull's.
