If 'professional sports' would sanction players AND teams that violate the rules - by stripping team titles and individuals of eligibility there would be more credibility.

Baseball's Houston Astros = illegitimate champions, should be banned from postseason for X yrs.
New England Patriots = illegitimate champions, as well.

At least in Pro Cycling, the governing bodies have been active. Hopefully, The Olympics will continue to test and ban as appropriate.

In USA = pro baseball, pro football, pro wrestling, pro roller derby are Athletic Entertainment, not Sport.
Guess I don't follow NBA or NHL enough to comment on those leagues.

Putting Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens in a Hall of Fame is shameful deceit. Like calling Lance the greatest cyclist. Just sporting fraud. Give them an Oscar or an Emmy for their entertainment performances, but not a Hall of Fame.
