you are right foots, it's all about fairness, Thorpe was done wrong, and should never had his medals taken away , he earned them, and they still don't know if he ever got paid for the ballgames he's accused of playing. and now people get paid for participating in the games, and horning bet on games more than once, but he was a star, one year suspension is all he got, but, rose was betting when he was a manager, he could influence games,with pitching decisions and line-up changes, it seems to be more serious when you are betting as a manager.
