Make it go Away

Somehow I can't really get myself worked up about the news that Ortiz used steroids, since everyone did. Were the 2004 Sox a fraud? As I recall they went through the New York juggernot led by um Arod, Clemens, and Giambi.

I mean in the sample that kicked off testing they found enough users to stock four full teams and a few leftovers for the DL. And since it had just about everyone in the top ten for homers it only figures he might be on it.

There is no doubt steroids enhance performance and are bad for you. But as near as I can tell everyone was using, so the case that it have them a competitive edge that would invalidate the team accomplishment seems week.
