I doesn't matter if MLB tested for or banned PEDs, they were illegal in the United States anyway. Now that MLB (or any of the leagues) has a testing policy that works they should pass along the results to the authorities. If the threat of missing games isn't enough to stop guys from using PEDs, maybe jail time is. These guys need to have a little personal resposibility.

I don't think these players JUST did it for the money though. That is too simplistic. These are driven people that took things too far in order to be better ballplayers. The real argument is how you compare them to the people that didn't take things too far. That is where I have no defense for them.

They didnt take them to be better Heroes or better members of society, they took them to make more money, they didnt take them to save baseball (even though that is what did it) they took PEDs out of pure greed. It is the same greed that is destroying the financial system as we speak. They both took shortcuts that help themselves in the shortterm without regard for the longterm.
