I don't think for a minute that sports reporters knew any less about steroid use in the late 1990s than they did about the players' cocaine use in the 1980s. They are no less guilty of perpetrating this mess than the commissioner. All James is suggesting is that because sports writers didn't say what they knew at the time and they can write whatever they feel like now which will make themselves look innocent, eventually they can cover it all up. Maybe he's right.
