Performance enhancing Drugs
Man, does baseball have a problem with performance enhancing drugs. To me, the players are at fault but the greater fault lies with those in the MLB Commissioners office. It was/is their responsibility to safeguard the game from abuse and their tolerance of the use of performance enhancing drugs could quite possibly ruin the game. The guilty players, along with the Commissioner Bud Selig and his staff should all be banned from the game as well as the Hall of Fame.

Joel, Bud took office in 1998. Just about the time most of the allegations began to surface. It was Bud's watch not someone else's.

I believe Bud's watch was during the height of abuse of this drug in the game's history and he is partially to blame for turning his head. He is now trying to back-step the issue, which he could have made rules and drug testing years earlier that he didn't to help pump back up a declining attendance.
