I understand the motivations, but I just hate a one-and-done scenario.  Giving SOME players the benefit of the doubt (like a Raffy Palmeiro), what happens if they take a substance that contains a steroid, unknowingly?

Just flat out get kicked out of the league, no questions asked?

We could lose some really valuable players this way.  I would hate to have another black mark on the game in a 1919 Black Sox fashion...

Harsh penalties are well and good... but at the expense of the health of the game... I just hesitate to be THIS harsh.  I understand that steroids hurt the health of the game, as well... which is why I am not opposed to lifetime bans... only after multiple violations (i.e., 3), though.
