A-Rod seems to be catching all of the headlines

Alright, well here is my first rambling on this blog spot. Today, I read an article by Jim Caple on espn.com regarding A-Rod. I mean, I just don't get it, people, just cannot get enough of A-Rod. It is as if he is the only baseball player to ever use steroids. I just would like to know, basides A-Rod, who else was on the list of individuals who tested positive for steroids in 2003 ( I think). Why aren't these individuals' names made public, so they can be heavily scrutinized like A-Rod. I think it is unfair to A-Rod and to the baseball world that these individuals' names are not being released. As a matter of fact, I don't think you can soley place the blame of steroids use on the player, but the culture, and major league baseball are at fault. I mean, come on, like Bud Selig did not know that players were juicing up in the late 80s and through the 1990s. MLB needed help, especially after the strike in 1994, so ofcourse they (MLB) turned a blind eye to steroids use. It burns me even more that Congress had to intervene to settle this, and waste taxpayers money, when they should have been preventing the economic meltdown.
