How pervasive was the steriods problem?...I'll add that if the Mets' clubhouse boy was correct about wholesale use,then the whole 'crime and punishment thing' should just sit down and shut up! McGuire has the Creatine and Andro in his locker in plain sight..they were OTC so why would he think it was illegal? Sosa is self-serving, to be sure...but his bats in Cooperstown were checked for cork and came up clean. He's doing well this year,so? Bonds is in his own world,granted, and whatever Greg Anderson gave him(knowingly or not) had nothing to do with hand/eye coordination....the guy has the sweetest swing on earth(Griffey Jr #2). Bonds was and still is a workout freak(5-6hrs a day) offseason. After having said all that....MLB apparently had implicit consent to what went on in the past, and IT needs to do what it can to repair the Sport!

I think your closing statement says it all -- excellent point.
I guess it just becomes what each person thinks MLB needs to do. Everyone's standards and "repair" points are going to be different.
