Robinson Cano VS. Justin Verlander

First off, are you kiddinnnnngggg me?

Athletes saying they have no idea how drug enhancements got into their system, that they didn't know the drug was prohibited, or act like the test had an error is a bunch of B - O - L - O - G - N - A ( I can't say bologna with out singing the Oscar Mayer song). It's seriously mind blowing to me! If your going to cheat either cover it up (it's not like you don't have the money to do so), or have you're wife/ girlfriend/ side chick cover it up for you (I see you Peyton).

To jump into this, I just want to know how Cano has the ballls to even say this, "For more than fifteen years, playing professional baseball has been the greatest honor and privilege of my life. I would never do anything to cheat the rules of the game that I love, and after undergoing dozens of drug tests over more than a decade, I have never tested positive for a Performance Enhancing Substance....."

I am aware that it's a PR move to deny at all costs and for agents to spin zone everrryyyy story (that statement had PR agency written all over it) to hopefully avoid tarnshining an athletes name, and the chances of being taken off a Hall of Fame ballot, BUT we have to be at the point where athletes just start confessing? I mean, you have to be a bit crazy to think for a second, that he had no idea what he was taking.

Side note, Cano is an eight- time All Star and possibly was a future Hall of Famer. SOOO, why is a grown man, that is a professional athlete, with that type of status just willy nilly just taking drugs from random doctors in foreign countries. I am no doctor, but regardless, that seems sketchy AF. It's clear he knew what he was doing, and what drugs he was taking, it just makes no sense why.

And yes, he sounds apologetic, but how many times can we hear the same sob story of athletes taking these drugs and when they are caught red handed they come up with an excuse as good as "my dog ate my homework."It reminds me of my parents finding alcohol in my room when I was younger, and I would just look at them with such a puzzled look and say, "I have no idea how that got there! It's obviously not mine!"

Bottom line, no the suspension won't change regardless of honesty, but I will probably hate you a little less if your excuses are not so cringeworthy and pathetic.

PSA: Justin Verlander with the subtweet. I love a good subtweet, but I can't help my mind immediately going to Kate Upton and his bathroom nudes every time I hear either of their names. Also, if I were him I would probably never tweet again, because trolls must be tweeting those photos every time he says anythinnngg.
