The point is that a blind eye has been turned on athlete conduct for decades and there is no indication that anyone else is on the list to be brought into question. Why stop here?

What you're calling for is a witch hunt to be honest. I think we have seen a steady progression towards this sort of expectation for pro-athletes and others in the public realm. As incidents like this come to light, the new standard is used in dealing with the incident and the fall out. I am not saying it's right that these people who've done verifiably bad things are out there profiting on fame, but I think it's reasonable to expect that should bad behavior continue that the new standard be applied and their lives subsequently come crashing down around them.
