Alex Rodriguez Steroids Scandal Gets Yankees Player Banned From 2014 Season, A-Rod Vows To 'Take This Fight To Federal Court'

Alex Rodriguez was dealt a 162-game suspension after an arbitrator upheld most of the player's punishment over the weekend. Several news outlets are reporting that the New York Yankees third baseman and three-time Most Valuable Player, who was at the center of a major steroids scandal in 2013, will be sidelined for the upcoming season and won't be eligible to return to the field until 2015. The suspension also includes any playoff games in 2014.
