Here's the thing that irritates me. Can the media stop saying that steroids were not illegal in 2003? Because that's bullcrap. Steroids have been illegal since 1990.
And here's where we get into semantics. Because yes, steroids were illegal but no, baseball didn't have a system to punish players to took them. So it's a morality issue: if it's illegal, but there's no punishment, is it still wrong?
Did you see the A-Rod interview? Gene Orza told him "You may or may not have failed a test." Yeah, (Cubs fans note: sarcasm ahead!) I bet that's exactly what he said Because if you just took a test, that's pretty much how it's going to go.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
