for once.

Had Joe brought this situation to light in 98, things could have been so much different for his legacy. Unfortunately, this was the ultimate "win at all costs" attitude and it should over shadow any and all of his accomplishments, not to be vengeful, but to serve as a warning to others, that winning should never compromise our morals and ethics on the most basic level of human decency.

They will most likely wipe away his wins too.

And I really hate to see that self righteous, vain butthead have the win record. When he said the wins should be taken away in an interview, you could see his only thought was to have the record.....not for the children.

I saw a tweet that said it was being moved to the library to remind people to be quiet.
