Steroids in Baseball, including Bonds, Giambi & Sheffield
I think just about everyone knew that these guys were taking something, whether it was steroids or not. The size of their heads alone was enough to give it away and for them to deny it all this time is ridiculous. Out of the 3 major baseball players here, Sheffield looks the least involved with the controversy. His body and production wasn't from the "the cream", etc. as much as it was from his abilities. The injuries he, Giambi, & McGwire have/had for that matter, are probably a direct result of what they were taking...you take stuff that's bad for your body, eventually it catches up to you.
Major League Baseball is at fault here, for not setting good enough rules & anti-doping policies for their players. The rules put into effect in 2003 are joke, as most people have commented. There's really no penalty or loss of income for those players caught cheating.
The league needs to follow the same testing policies as the NBA, NFL & Olympic organizations - they also need to test for marijuana, which they don't seem to be (aside from the Olympics).
What a great example for the youth of our nation - all their idols & heroes are dopeheads.
