McGwire admits to steroid use | MLB.com: News

McGwire had his chance to "come clean" with Congress. His statement to Congress was a joke and he made a fool out of himself.

McGwire has seen other stars who have come clean.

1. Giambi - received standing O when he was a member of the Yankees
2. Manny
3. AROD
4. Petite

All the above were treated ok by the fans when they came back. Also, perhaps by admitting he took the "roids" will lead him to good standing with writers for the Hall.

IMO, it took way too long for McGwire to admit he took the juice.

FWIW: IMO Baseball is a joke of an organization. There still is NOT a test for HGH. Testing for HGH must be by blood sample and the Players Union renegged on giving blood samples. So even today players could still be taken the 'stuff" because there is not a test for it.

If they do vote players into the Hall who took the juice then they should re-consider Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson who in actuality never took the money. Cheating is Cheating however, baseball seems to draw the line when it comes to gambling and we will wait and see what happens to the Steroid era.

Also, people do not care. It's more of a media "thing" then anything else. Heck if a player was an android and your team won the WS the people would not care.
