I agree but I don't feel that it's necessarily the players who should take all the blame. I'm not trying to defend what they did (they still disgraced the game and it was wrong), but call it peer pressure of whatever you like, the fact of the matter is, players could juice up and NOT be penalized for it. It's like telling a kid in a candy shop to take anything he wants and he won't get into trouble for it. Also, if you look at it from the other side, if this was the case, then the playing field was "level" as ANYONE who chose to, could use steroids and not be penalized.
