Sporting greatness or tainted shadow on a once great game???

What do people think?

From this side of the pond, it stinks - last season, he was the villian, tainted with steroids, nobody liked him. Suddenly, he has approached and then yesterday passed a historic sporting milestone and most people seem to have forgotton the chemical enhanced years that brought him to this moment in time. Do American sport's fans really have such short memories or are they such a nation of hero worshippers that anything is celebrated, no matter how that was achieved??
