But when the only outed users for the 2006 Cardinals are Gary Bennett and Larry Bigbie, that doesn’t strike me as a “tainted” victory.

Not stacked up against Ortiz and Manny, anyway.

Have been in popular American sports since the late 1950’s. ESPN had a story about the steroid use with the ‘63 Kansas City Chiefs, the great Steelers teams of the 70’s; this is not a 21st Century phenomenon.

It’s sad to say, but no World Series winning team in the last half-century can be looked at as 100% clean; I’m sure the same can be said for Super Bowl winners as well. Hearing people talk about the late 60’s through the 80’s as the “clean era” in baseball is just naive.

To penalize a team when someone like Aaron Miles was a roid taker. They should find the last team when every SIGNIFICANT contributer didn’t take roids.
