Dennis,

All I'm saying is the owners are equally responsible for this sordid mess. Also, I believe this distribution of fault is charitable, actually I'm speculating that they are more than 50% at fault.

Even before steroid testing, most player contracts had provisions which forbid players from using drugs, however, the owners have seldom enforced these provisions because they did not want their players angry at them.

Now if the owners had come down hard on their players when these contract provisions were violated, I'm sure the players would have cleaned up their act much faster.
