I agree, but I thought that Selig and the owners have been blamed for letting it get to the point they did. They failed to do anything in the face of a strong union, who was forced by Congress essentially, not MLB, to have the one year of anonymous testing, ostensibly to show that steroids weren't a problem. Kind of blew up in everyone's face, so now there's something of a program. The fact that the owners let it get to that point is inexcusable, and of course they were profiting, since the whole post-strike strategy was to gin up offense to draw the fans, who apparently prefer cartoon-like home runs to well-pitched, tight baseball games.
