There is a sign in front of a queue to access it. "The players in this room had careers that should enable them to be in the HOF. However, due to PED suspicions, they are placed in this room, so their careers could be acknowledged. Do not enter this room if you feel they do not belong in the HOF. In the event it has been PROVEN 100% that they DID NOT use PEDS, they will be moved to the regular HOF permanently. If, on the other hand it is proven 100% that they DID use PEDS, they will be removed from THIS room, and their careers will not be acknowledged as legitimate by the HOF."

Maybe not a perfect solution. But they are IN the HOF, but not IN the HOF.

For other players, I stated in another post that failing a drug test should void their salary, and bring them down to the league minimum for the duration of what is left on their contract. Re-tests and new tests conducted to avoid ANY false positives. Hell even use polygraphs if they fail a test and outright ask them. But it's well worth the risk. Anybody who thinks players are clean now are delusional. 30 million a year contracts are here, with 40 soon to follow IMO. It's WELL worth the risk of the small chance of getting caught. MLB needs to make it NOT worth it. THEN you will see a sharp decline in numbers.

So this year inductees are Bagwell, Raines and Pudge. Do Bagwell and Pudge go in the wing you just described?
