Bud Selig is so incensed by A-Rod's confession that he's considering a measure so abominable that the Framers banned it from government (see: Article I, Section 9). Obviously, the Constitution's prohibition against ex post facto laws isn't binding against the MLB Commissioner, but given the extreme violation of A-Rod's privacy (not to mention the 2003 Collective Bargaining Agreement) to this point in this scandal, I think Bud owes it to A-Rod to just let this die.
Meanwhile, the Richland County Sherrif's department is considering bringing charges against Michael Phelps for being photographed allegedly doing something less dangerous than drinking alcohol. This is the same city whose cops brought you the excessive beating of Kevin Young in August of last year.
It's a dark day in sports for the rights of the individual.

Just thought you guys might find this intersting. As some of you know my brother works for the Richland County solicitor's office. Specifically, he prosecutes drug and fire arm cases. So there is some chance that my brother might be the one throwing the book at Michael Phelps. I already told him not to be a D-bag.
Prosecuting Phelps just makes Columbia look more petty and small minded than it already does - which is hard
at least everyone but the sheriff seems to be against this. cola police and usc police aren't cooperating, and sanford is quoted as saying that he shouldn't be prosecuted:

this isn't the most flattering interview; he's bumbling, but he ultimately says the right thing.
