Re: Why are steroids only seen as a baseball problem?
I think it's probably beyond "they didn't have a program in place" sort of responses. Not that this is not part of the issue, but it's not the only reason.
Baseball statistics and records matter and are much more relevant than those of any other sport because we have this need to compare eras. Piling up the numbers under false pretenses has clouded the judgement of players over the past decade and will continute to do so. I think the confusion over how these players compare to their predecessors leads to dismay over their methods.
