Alex Rodriguez accepted his season-long suspension from Major League Baseball on Friday, the longest penalty in the sport's history related to performance-enhancing drugs. The decision came nearly four weeks after arbitrator Fredric Horowitz issued his decision largely upholding the penalty issued to the New York Yankees third baseman last summer by baseball Commissioner Bud Selig. Rodriguez had repeatedly proclaimed his innocence and sued MLB and the Major League Baseball Players Association in federal court to overturn the penalty. But 27 days after Horowitz's decision, with the start of spring training a week away, the three-time AL MVP withdrew the lawsuit and a previous action filed last fall claiming MLB and Selig were engaged in a ''witch hunt'' against him.
