It's All Fun And Games Until You Get Caught

We've all watched someone do something wrong or illegal and most of us turn a blind eye to the activity. This all changes when that someone gets caught doing said activity. Then it's akin to a high school field party being broken up with everyone covering their own ass and running to duck behind a bush with their bottle of peach schnapps.
The same behaviour is evident in both the fashion world and major league baseball. First, Rafael Palmeiro gets busted for using steroids, gets suspended and isolated by the baseball world. I'm sure it was a big secret that he was using, obviously everyone knew, probably some of his teammates injected him but then he gets caught and he's treated like a leper. It's wrong for him to use the performance enhancing drug but in the world of escalating salaries and increased competitiveness for jobs, is it really a surprise? Sure, he's 38 years old trying to hang onto a job and an $8 mil a year salary but I'm sure a 23 year old right now has a needle in his ass trying to break in to the bigs and get that salary. Palmeiro sealed his fate last week when he accused teammate of Miguel Tejada of also using. It's like the mob, everyone's knows what you're doing but when you get caught, you go down alone. If Mark McGwire goes to the Hall then Palmeiro deserves to be there to. I'm sure more then half of the hall inductees over the next century were and are consistent users.
Kate Moss snorts coke. Models doing drugs is like saying hockey players like to drink beer. However, poor Katy got caught. Now, every modeling contract she has has been voided because she uses cocaine. How much of a hypocrite can these design companies be? They'll replace Moss with another model who is more discreet with her intake. Drug use in the modeling world, like baseball, is only a problem when you get caught. There's probably enough coke residue on the toilet seats in the backstage at a fashion show to make Pablo Escobar roll over in his grave. She also made the mistake of dating Pete Doherty, she became Lorraine Bracco to Doherty's Ray Liotta and was now under more scrutiny based on association.
Drug use however it is morally viewed, is illegal. All organizations, whether it be fashion or sports, must police their own and not wait till someone gets caught to launch an internal uproar. It's unlikely to happen and hypocrisy will remain.
