The sports world is all abuzz after Mark McGwire admitted to using steroids, because no one saw that one coming. I'm pretty sure every web junkie, blog writing, sports nut has their opinion about what happened and are writing about it. This....is one of those posts.
What I believe Bud Selig and major league baseball should do is take all the home runs that he (and any admitted steroid/PED user) that they hit during their drug using years and disallow them. Think about when college programs get busted for cheating by using academically ineligible players or have kids that are getting paid by people. The NCAA takes away wins and bowl game wins and tournament wins. Banners get taken down in their arenas and stadiums. Every year that these baseball players were using, their home runs need to be erased. No questions asked. Sure there are some legit homers during those years, but you cannot be sure. And when in doubt, just cover your ass and take them all away.
McGwire is eligible for the Hall of Fame right now. There is no way he is getting in regardless of what he admitted before or after. But, you take away the home runs he hit while using steroids/PEDs, and he is not even considered for the Hall because those home runs that made him famous are gone.
