McGwire Admits Steroid Use

Item: McGwire admits to steroid use /Associated Press

More Info: Mark McGwire finally came clean Monday, admitting he used steroids when he broke Baseball’s Home run record in 1998. McGwire said in a statement sent to The Associated Press on Monday that he used steroids on and off for nearly a decade. “I wish I had never touched steroids,” McGwire said in a statement. “It was foolish and it was a mistake. I truly apologize. Looking back, I wish I had never played during the steroid era.” McGwire also used human growth hormone, a person close to McGwire said, speaking on condition of anonymity because McGwire didn’t include that detail in his statement.

Question: What should be done with the home run records belonging to McGwire, Sammy Sosa, and Barry Bonds? Bonds, of course, has been accused of using drugs to enhance his baseball performance. But the accusations haven’t been proven.
