Mark McGwire admits to long-term steroid use!

[PeteBooth]

MLB has been a mess ever since they got rid of the "Traditional" Commissioners role and named Bud Sileg an owner Commissioner. Had their been a TRUE Commissioner there would have been testing.

It wasn't until MLB got Embarrased on Nat'l TV during the Congrsssional hearings that BUD did anything. Also, there STILL is no test for HGH.

IMO, Mac is SELFISH as evidenced by his admitting Steroid use AT THIS TIME. Why!

1. I think Bob Costas NAILED it when he talked about the statute of limitations being up. I think it was 5 years.

2. Most of America especially those in NY where the Jets advanced to the next round are in NFL mode and therefore, Mac wouldn't be a major headline for too long. Today most of the talk shows and nation are back to football.

3. He wanted to get this "out of the way" before Spring Training so he doesn't have a big media circus.

Also, what a joke of answer when Mac said that steroids had no bearing on his hitting 70Hr.s He used the "stuff" strictly as a healing agent and that GOD gave him this great gift. He talked about LL , legion and HS ball. What a joke of an answer.

Hey Mac hate to break it to you but Micky Mantel (prior to his injury and bout with alcohol) had as much GOD given talent as any athlete and instead of using booze if Mick used the juice he most likely would have hit at least 800 HR's. What about Frank Robinson, Willie Mays and Hank. You think you had more GOD given talent then those folks. But that is America. people "bought into" ARODS Story and they most likely will by into Mac's story as well.

I too do not give a hoot about the Hall, HOWEVER, if MLB is going to vote these cheaters in then IMO they need to Re-think about Rose and Shoeless Joe who as I mentioned previously in actuality never took the money.
