It's interesting that the NCAA can go back in time and remove wins for teams that have violated the rules, but MLB is hesitant to do the same thing.

When a team has people violating the drug policy to achieve their wins, they should have their wins vacated and all records changed. Period.

No remarks or stats in record books should be allowed to remain since cheating was used to get the stats.

The teams should record a LOSS for all games in which players who used steroids played, even if it means BOTH teams involved get a loss.

When we do not insist upon honesty and transparency in the way we allow our athletes to operate, we effectively teach in attitude and practice that there is, indeed, a completely different set of rules for the rich and famous athlete than for the poor and anonymous fans who pay their salary.

Pro sports have long been secretive about those who cheat. It's time to let a little air and light into the stinking mess that has become professional baseball.

It's time to make the cheaters pay for ruining American's pastime. When you mess up, 'fess up.

If EVERYONE is cheating is it still considered cheating? The best way for MLB to clean up their image is to let the past be the past and work on the present.

If cheating is breaking or bending the rules, and everyone is doing that, yes it is still considered cheating.
