Good for Andy Pettitte! Barry Bonds, Pete Rose, Roger Clemens, take notice. If you fess up and apologize, you get a hug from everyone's All American, Derek Jeter. And you probably can continue to exist in your chosen field.
The question isn't should players use steriods, it's their body, who's hurt, etc.? The question is, If rich people who entertain us do something illegal, are they going to get busted? When you break a law that can affect the outcome of a baseball game, you have to pay for it if you get caught.
What the New England Patriots did in trying to steal signals is different. It is not against the laws of the U.S. Sure, that could affect a game's outcome. But no one will go to jail for doing it. It's a different situation when an individual breaks a law to get an unfair advantage.
But the way to avoid being creamed by the media and investigated for years is to come clean, apologize, and throw yourself into Derek Jeter's arms. Then you at least have a chance to repair your rep and continue to make millions on a baseball diamond.
