Pete,
You can add Miguel Tejada to the list of well-received contrite juicers. Miggy was the guy who victimized poor Raffy Palmeiro, when he slipped the unknowing Raffy some juice and told him it was vitamins. Then Raffy threw Miggy under the bus. It was like when Sheffield and Bonds claimed that they thought the juice they were doing was flax seed oil and aspercreme.
We'll ultimately know how important admitting it is when A-Rod and Manny go in the Hall, and Bonds, Sheffield and Palmeiro do not. McGwire's stock was low for more than one reason, so he was never a sure-fire Hall of Famer even without the joke performance before Congress. But Raffy, Barry and Manny are all first-ballot locks without juicing findings.
