Well how much mention has the borderline players who were actually caught been given ? No its only Bonds, Clemens, A-Rod etc. You cant have it both ways. You cant say it helped the superstars performance but didnt do squat for that non superstar. If anything it should have turned average players into great players. Maybe not superstars but at least great player
but have we really seen this or is it only when a player has say 50+hrs that he must be receiving the benefits of steroids.
I think this whole steroids controversy is a waste of time. You cant change the past. Do we even know for sure how much it can help a player?
Theres always been and always will be cheating in baseball. If they ban these players from the hof should they ban people like John McGraw? The guy tried to ban the umpires from a game and put his own players as the umpires. But he never took steroids so he never tried to cheat.
Its useless to continue this witch hunt. We will never know for sure who took what. They have rules and better testing. Why not just move on and enjoy the game. When someone gets caught and they dont do anything aboutit then i can see complaining.
But if MLB had these tests in 2003 shouldnt they be taking most of the blame for letting it continue? Isnt that kinda like instead of taking a drug test for a new job they want your tests results from 7 years ago. Sure the players are still responsible but i just think we need to stop finger pointing and look to the future.
Players have always cheated. What makes this era so different than the past?
They didnt throw any games. They still had to run, hit and catch the ball. Can you tell me exactly how many stats are due to steroids? If not then why cry over spilled milk? Its done. Just move on already.
