The MLB players are just scapegoats for the whole steroid deal. First off, it's not a big deal, but people make it out to be. It's a victimless crime.
But, these players were basically pressured into using steroids, because MLB did nothing about it 20+ years ago like they should have. They looked the other way to allow players to juice to get inflated stats and more asses in the seats.
The players are the ones who are the victims in all this. They get used by MLB, they use potentially harmful substances on their bodies, and then they are thrown to the wolves for doing something "wrong" and "immoral." Then all their achievements are marked in the record books. These people's jobs were to play baseball. That's how they got their money. If they didn't use steroids, they wouldn't get the $ because they couldn't compete with the players who WERE using.
The US is ass backwards on so many things.
