As a true fan who has watched and loved the game for many years,I too am disappointed with some of the players named in the report. And I do believe that all those proven to have participated in taking the illegal substances should receive diciplinary action for their ruthless behavior.
However, in the case of Andy Pettitte, one must remember that the medication that he took at the time of his injury was not banned until some years later. He did nothing illegal at the time, and I take him at his word that their was no illegal intent. He quit after just two days!
I also don't think that it is fair to even suggest that there could be the possibility that Cal Ripkin took enhancements. Certainly anything is possible, but his name was not implicated in the report and I think it would be inappropriate to tarnish his great achievement without any credible suspicion.
