Is there really any doubt he cheated his entire career?

My assumption is that he and Canseco started early. I have my doubts that 49 HR rookie season or whatever it was, was "natural."

At least Judge broke his bogus record.

Steroids weren't even banned in baseball in 1987. I don't believe the cream he admitted to using later was either, although I could be wrong about that. And even though MLB banned steroids in 91 they didn't start testing for them until 2003. Personally I don't think these guys should be black balled now when the league didn't care while this was going on.

That may be true, but MLB knew what was going on and chose to ignore it. It took 12 years after they "banned" steroids to even attempt to test for them. 01 was a historic season and great for ratings. They used these guys to win fans back after the strike. And now they want to keep them out of the hall. That's the part I have a problem with.

I believe that his rookie season was 100% legit. He was big, but not brawny and always had the perfect uppercut Homerun swing. I also believe that he started 'juicing' in 1995 and that, at least initially, it was just to recover from two injury-shortened seasons. After that, of course, the totals became surreal...and, with Sosa, Palmeiro, A-Rod and Bonds help...so did the 'official' baseball record books - which I NEVER check anymore. All Hail Mr. Roger Maris & Mr. Henry Aaron...the TRUE record holders. I was most offended by the fact that McGwire blatantly lied to the Maris familys' faces while celebrating his temporary record.
