The real crime isn’t about steroids, it’s about lying

It’s not the steroid use that really bothers me, though. The substances weren’t then banned from baseball. Maybe it wasn’t right, but everyone is looking for an edge. Mark it as a lesson learned and move on. What really bothers me, and what will keep these men out of the Hall of Fame, is the lying. America forgives a fool; it doesn’t excuse a liar. Rodriguez said he didn’t use steroids. Up and down denials for years. This week, he’s sorry. For what, being outed? He would have never apologized if not caught.
