I may be overboard on the cynical here, but I doubt anyone is truly clean. The horses are too far out of the barn so to speak.
I'm also disappointed in the lack of top level leadership in all 4 major sports. Just recently we've been subjected to(and in some cases continue to be) the worst Commissioners ever in the Big 4 sports. Goodell is a joke. Bettman is even worse. Stern and the NBA were exposed during the ref scandal, that seems to be the most rigged pro sport out there. Bud Selig is by far the most incompetent baseball commissioner of my my lifetime, if not all time in the sport. His leadership enabled and cultivated the "PED ERA". Everybody was lovey dovey with McGwire and Sosa. Who was the leader. Selig. Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil Bud. Now suddenly, that leader is leading the clean up. That's a culture of corruption at the highest level.
I won't pile on Braun. I was told once "don't pitchfork the dead". Which is what Braun's career is, dead. Regardless of whether or not he plays again, it's dead.
He has a major hand in that obviously. But so does Bud. And all of baseball. To a certain degree we all do. But Bud needs to be removed, soon. It's long overdue, no more excuses.
