Baseball ignored the steriods because they were coming off a strike and attendance/ratings were way down. The club owners and the player's union never wanted to stop it because HR's were up. Bud Selig was an owner and never had any eggs to do anything until Congress forced him. The NFL has a policy against steroids and they suspend players all the time. Whether or not their 3 strikes and you're out stop it is another story, players seem to be 1 step ahead of testing.

Exactly. A central authority does not guarantee anything especially when much of it depends on who leads it. Look at the NHL and its "central leadership". It took a hot sport that was on the uprise and marginalized it to the point where it's coverage gets bumped by horseracing!!!
