MLB did this to Pete Rose too. Did anyone every show that Rose’s gambling addiction materially affected any games or seasons? No, but since it was considered a social taboo by the nanny-types, he has to be punished.

I’m not saying that steroid use by athletes is an ideal model for youth (as young males can definitely be damaged by it.) However, there is so much hypocrisy about singling out a particular player when the use of steroids is so common throughout sports.

I wonder how many of the team owners go to expensive Palm Springs sports clinics for periodic dosing with HGH and steroids?
