During the first congressional hearings over baseball's drug problems, Mark McGwire came under fire for his refusal to open up and discuss his actions. And then, once the hearings ended, McGwire slipped into private life, staying below the radar.
The speculation persists, but the public discussion has faded.
McGwire has taken the out-of-sight, out-of-mind approach, and it has worked.
Then there was Rafael Palmeiro, who provided the sanctimonious approach to his testimony only to be outed as a legitimate hypocrite.
And more recently we have Roger Clemens, who has spent his athletic life bullying his way to success, suddenly finding out that he can't push everybody around and the more he tries to "clean'' up his name, the dirtier things get.
Remember that old adage, better to be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and prove it?
