## Transcript

Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees is the most high profile of 13 Major League Baseball players suspended Monday for the use of performance- enhancing drugs. The 14- time All- Star has been suspended without pay for the remainder of the 2013 season, and all of 2014, effective Thursday, August 8th. Rodriguez has said he plans to appeal, and to play. The suspensions are the result of MLB's investigation into Biogenesis, a south Florida anti- aging clinic that's since shut its doors. All- stars on the list receiving, and accepting, lesser, 50- game suspensions, include Nelson Cruz of the Texas Rangers, Jhonny Peralta of the Detroit Tigers, and Everth Cabrera of the San Diego Padres.

This is a big, a a big move by Major League Baseball. And, I think now for the first time, all the players at clubhouses, are all with the owners saying, we want this out of our sport, if you wanna ban these guys for life, we're with you. The process surrounding Rodriguez has been complicated. As of Monday, he had yet to play in a Major League game in 2013, rehabbing from injuries. While eligible to play during his appeal, the reception from fans could be harsh. But some Yankee fans say Rodriguez was targeted simply because he's A- Rod. They're just making a prime example of A- Rod, which is the highest paid player, and, you know, just making him to be the goat of everything.

The 38 year old infielder signed a 10 year, $ 275 million contract with the Yankees in 2007, that made him the highest paid player in Major League Baseball. In Washington, I'm Karen Kafa.
