I really don't think anyone cares about steroids as much as the media and the government wants to think they do.

It's entertainment. They're athletes. So what. I don't know a single soul losing sleep over any of this. Or maybe it's different in America, but in Canada you can smell the "plants" by the phone-in sports talk radio shows a mile away; people who are SHOCKED and STUNNED to learn that this is going on, calling and complaining that the role models they looked up to are frauds, that all the stats are tainted, that pro sports has truly lost its innocence and they will never regard the games they love the same way again. Boo hoo. Truly melodramatic stuff, and by melodramatic I mean transparent and staged.

Overall, the general sentiment seems to be of mass casual indifference. Of the "look how hard I can sigh" variety.
