<p>Looking back at the Steroids Era in Major League Baseball, there are many questions, but one stands above all: Who knew? </p>
<p>In a special report in its latest issue, ESPN The Magazine offers a 16-page examination of the spread of <a href="http://www.mesomorphosis.com/">steroid use </a>throughout baseball, and how many of those closely involved with the game — executives, players, trainers, the media — watched it happen … and looked the other way. Among the details revealed in the report, available on newsstands Wednesday with additional features on ESPN.com: • Baseball ignored its own rules about steroids. In 1991, then-Commissioner Fay Vincent effectively put steroids on baseball's list of banned substances in a memo sent to all MLB teams. Baseball could not test for steroids, the memo said, but should a player be caught with steroids, he would be sent for treatment and subject to penalties. </p>
