Why doesn't anyone get it?

This is a terrible idea. MLB is starting a high profile investigation into steroids now click below for the release:

I don't care who they put in charge but baseball isn't prepared for this. Every player to speak out on this topic has said that 40% to 60% of players have at least tried steroids. If you were a player in baseball the past couple of years before testing and you were surrounded by your teammates who were taking steroids and making millions of dollars and your sport had no rules against it wouldn't you be tempted to try it? Not all of the players, who are going to be found out in this investigation, are going to turn out to be like Barry Bonds. Most of them will be decent hard working guys who were looking for a chance to prove themselves and help their families. If you don't think players from the past wouldn't have taken steroids you're nuts. The fact is there were no rules against baseball players taking anything until two years ago.

Baseball should just take a mulligan and say "Yes we fucked up,". I don't know how Bud Selig hadn't even thought steroids might be in baseball until 1994. His right hand man at that time, Sandy Alderson, had first hand knowledge having been the GM when Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco were playing for him. You might have thought a conversation might have occurred with every controversy that occurred in both the Olympics and Football. If there is an investigation I hope it looks into why that question hasn't been asked yet.

But baseball isn't going to get off that easy unless restrict this report to a certain time period. For years MLB teams supplied their players with amphetamines to help their performances. I wouldn't be surprised if at one point a major league official encouraged a player to take steroids. I hate talking about his because intelligent people should have already walked down this path. But with this investigation starting I wonder if the right questions will be asked. Is all this the players fault? Or did teams encourage their players to take steroids for better performances. The Yankees took out the steroids clause when they were setting up Jason Giambi's contract, at the behest of his agent. So didn't they know? Didn't the A's? Didn't every single team in baseball know that their players were taking these things and look the other way? I just don't believe that baseball will have a fair, honest investigation in which the commissioner of baseball and all the baseball owners are going to be found guilty of knowing EXACTLY WHAT THEIR PLAYERS WERE TAKING AND DOING DURING THIS TIME. THIS INVESTIGATION IS JUST A SHAM! I meant that to be in caps for those of you who were wondering.
