McGwire (finally) admits steroid use.
McGwire said in a statement sent to The Associated Press on Monday that he used steroids on and off for nearly a decade.
"I wish I had never touched steroids," McGwire said in a statement. "It was foolish and it was a mistake. I truly apologize. Looking back, I wish I had never played during the steroid era."
McGwire also used human growth hormone, a person close to McGwire said, speaking on condition of anonymity because McGwire didn't include that detail in his statement.
McGwire's decision to admit using steroids was prompted by his decision to become hitting coach of the St. Louis Cardinals, his final big league team. Tony La Russa, McGwire's manager in Oakland and St. Louis, has been among McGwire's biggest supporters and thinks returning to the field can restore the former slugger's reputation.
"I never knew when, but I always knew this day would come," McGwire said. "It's time for me to talk about the past and to confirm what people have suspected."


How soon until he is forgiven?

The steroid era didn't make you take roids Mark. Mark made Mark take roids.

in St. Louis, he already was forgiven.

Everywhere else, a few months or maybe never

I don't give a free pass just because somebody comes up with one of these Jimmy Swaggart-style mea culpa moments.

As far as I'm concerned, this is nothing more than sealing the deal on him not getting into the Hall of Fame.

You beat me to it.

In Saint Louis, he's long been forgiven. After all, that's what St. Tony wants.

Everywhere else?

Go hide behind your kid, creep.

Then why wasn't he involved in the All-Star Game there?

Not until Pete Rose comes clean will our long national nightmare be over. Who care's about McGwire? He probably had to admit to come clean if he wanted to put on a Cards uniform again.
It still won't get him into Cooperstown without a ticket.
 
I wonder if AP followed up to ask: Provably? Demonstrably?

Because MLB controls the All-Star gaame, not the Cardinals.

Your Hall of Fame must be tiny. Really tiny.

MLB didn't control everything happening in town around it. He could have been at Hrabosby's bar signing autographs. But McGwire was completely MIA.
