I'd rather face a pitcher taking steroids than one throwing a spit or scuff ball. Then again, AFAIK no one's died on the field because another player was taking an illegal supplement.

Cheating is cheating. I want to see this crap out of the game, which is the purpose of having a drug policy, but I'm not going to hold Ryan Braun to a higher standard than I would Babe Ruth, Gaylord Perry, or Willie Mays.
