If you want to blame anyone, blame Selig. He's the one who didn't have the stones to set up a program to strictly test for drugs. This is the sport where Steve Howe had more than 10 suspensions for drug use before being kicked out of the league (or did he just retire?).
I love baseball and I'm glad they've got some better rules in there now. But I say there still wouldn't be any if congress hadn't threatened action because in the eyes of the commisionerr it was "good for the game".
Sadly, Bonds might suffer the worst penalty of all; there is no telling how much his life may be shortened by the drugs he took.
and I won't shed any tears. You cheat, you face the consequences of your actions.
