Peter C.,
How could anyone have advised McGwire on how to act at the 2005 hearings? That's where he screwed his HOF chances. He made a conscious decision to sit there and say nothing of substance. "I'm not here to talk about the past." Okay then, you baby, go home and kiss your plaque in Cooperstown goodbye. He should have faced the music like a man.
It was a pathetic performance and he's justifiably paying the price for it. He should have come clean. If Andro was all he was ever on, he should have said it. Andro isn't illegal and it wasn't banned in MLB at the time. If he was on the juice, he should have admitted it and apologized. As it turns out, it clearly looks like the container of Andro he so proudly displayed in his locker, for all to see, was just a cover to deflect suspicion that he might be on illegal steroids.
