Steroids came into baseball years ago, when steroids use were not illegal. Players did steroids looking for the big money that baseball only reserved to Home runs hitters and power pitchers, and baseball was motivated by the fans love for those players.
Ball players didn't have at that moment any reason to quit the use of steroids, and practically were invited by the commissioner office ignore.
Now that suddenly baseball players have been tested they are not prepared to rapidy get out of the trap created for the whole baseball.
The Commissioner Office has been hypocrite and treacherous to the players. Long time ago the commissioner saw the players and the numbers growing and did nothing about it. Now they started to legislate about steroids, and punishment is the only thingh they can do. May be they are going to put asterisk on the new records, but they ( records)are going to persevere, and the Palmeiros, Bonds, Sosas, Mcguirres will be in the Hall of Fame.
