A Rod's Crazy game Of Poker

Major League Baseball is taking "very seriously" the allegations that Alex Rodriguez took part in some illegal, underground poker games, one of which reportedly turned violent, and he could face suspension if his participation in the games is confirmed.ESPN

I don't really understand this whole thing, but it seems as A Rod has been involved in high stakes poker games. In 2005, Alex was warned to not involve himself in these types of games. A lot of people say he could be suspended based on his involvement in the games.

"The allegations, first reported by Star Magazine, are that the New York Yankees third baseman played in at least two of the games, one of which took place at a record executive's Beverly Hills mansion, where "cocaine was openly used" and a fight nearly broke out when one of the players refused to pay after losing "more than a half-million dollars."

I don't think it matters, that cocaine use happened, it's more the gambling aspect. This isn't a big deal in my eyes, what did he do wrong? Play a poker game. Should he have avoided the situation, maybe? But at the end of the day, it's a card game and as much as I hate A Rod, he shouldn't be suspended for this, even if it's found he played.
