arely a fortnight after that came Sports Illustrated's own Big One: there is a steroid presence in the Old Ball Game, all right - the National League's 1996 Most Valuable Player, Ken Caminiti, admitting he got loose with the juice earlier that season, over concern about a shoulder injury. He retracted his original guesstimate of 50 percent of players rolling the roids quickly enough

That doesn't make it less true.

It may. Or, it may not. Until or unless baseball's governors (owners and players' union alike) decide at last to put their other differences and arguments aside long enough to agree that the roids need to be cleaned out, we may never get an accurate read on the precise percentage of players who are putting the tiger in the tank. The number of players calling for testing of one or another sort is growing little by little, so it may not be that simple for the players' union to duck the issue much longer, even if Curt Schilling (who was practically the first player to call for testing) has a point when he talks about there being an owner or three willing to use the steroid issue as a straw man against a player they simply don't like.
