MLB isn't doing a good enough job of policing the sport and restoring integrity to the game I think the dirty little secret in all of this is that everyone -- players, owners, union -- want to maintain the status quo that has made them all rich. In the process, they lie through their teeth, pay lip service to the integrity of the game, and bury the truth. Bud Selig riding the coattails of Henry Aaron a couple of years back was disgusting, shameful hypocrisy. Bud Selig has overseen the ruination of the game that Henry Aaron honored with his play. In the meantime, the union leadership (i.e. Gene Orza) was tipping off players in advance to help avoid detection in upcoming drug tests. Why wouldn't a guy like A-Rod, who has shown throughout his career that making top dollar far outweighs anything related to integrity and class, follow through with taking whatever garbage helps him hit bombs? My favorite part of his interview with Peter Gammons was when he "honestly" didn't know which banned substances he had taken and that it was "pretty accurate" that he had taken steroids only from 2001-2003. A-Rod's "apology" is a big lie. jpg
