You mean to tell me that none of them, the Commisioner included, had/has never an idea? I'll bet Selig had three earfuls of it. MLB can hardly get a Game Of The Week. Selig will get in The Hall.

Other players knew, coaches and managers, GMs and surely the commissioner all knew - how are you going to prove they were complicit? Do you just ignore a whole generation of players and managers? Can't do it.

Yes, but your idea is to punish only the players who failed urine and blood tests. To me that's sort of narrow and seems discriminatory. Why not administer some polygraph tests to the upper echelon? There's enough guilt to go around.
