Still lying though - "Did this for health purposes" yeah right.

If he hadn't have said that, I think the rest of his 'coming clean' was handled very well. Even the guy sitting in the courtroom with him, whose son died from steroid use, said he understood McGwire's previous response to Congress, once he heard that McGwire had asked for immunity. Let's face it, Congress doesn't handle baseball problems very well - any better than they handle anything else.
So I give McGwire's confession higher marks than any previous other than Andy Petitte, who's the only one who truly handled it the correct way.
