McGwire's name added to cheat list of MLB

Mark McGwire, the former St Louis Cardinals slugger, has now decided to come clean after years of rumor that he used steroids.

The one-time "home-run king" recently became the latest confessed steroid users of baseball and remarked, "It was absolutely the most ridiculously stupid thing I've ever done in my life. I regret it totally”.

From Guardian.co.uk:

McGwire's confession was carefully filtered out through a press release and a series of brief interviews, but the centrepiece was an one-hour live, sit-down with Bob Costas of the Major League Baseball network, which was intended to address every conceivable question raised by the revelation that the man who broke the home-run record in 1998, and who in doing so was credited with reviving baseball's image after a damaging players' strike earlier in the decade, was in fact a cheat.
Costas is many things but he is certainly no mug and he did a brilliant job in getting McGwire to tell his (obviously rehearsed) story, as well as exposing the contradictions therein.
The reviews have landed and they can be best described as mixed. Those inclined to feel sympathetic towards the slugger credit him with offering a more "complete" and "believable" confession than the likes of Rodriguez, who tried to pass off his drug use as actions of a stupid youth, or Giambi, who apologised but declined to say what he was apologising for.

It appears that baseball players who had became drug cheats to gain recognition are now making attempts to rewrite a history that they had already rewritten before with mendacious intent by their use of performance enhancing drugs.
