he did nothing to giambi, so how can he to anyone else?

he can't and he shouldn't. under the rules in effect while most of these guys used there was no punishement.

how can you go back 5 years later and say, "sorry...we changed our minds". despite the bargaining agreement we signed with the union we're now going to hand out sanctions for activities that were "illegal" but for which there was no punishment.

the point of the report is putting that sordid past behind you and at least admitting there was a problem and trying to move forward.

or...

you could point elsewhere. i'm surprised no one has brought up the olympics or bicycling yet.
