ST. LOUIS -- Mark McGwires first trip to Busch Stadium in a visitors uniform was focused more on his past instead of the homecoming. The Los Angeles Dodgers hitting coach and former Cardinals home run king said Monday that his opinion about the penalties Major League Baseball handed down for performance-enhancing drugs is not as important than those of current players. "You know, it really doesnt matter what I think," McGwire said. "I think what matters is what the players think and from what I hear every day in the clubhouse, theyre just happy its coming to an end." Dodgers pitcher Chris Capuano and first baseman Adrian Gonzalez both said new testing procedures are paying off and making it tougher to cheat. "Players have been vocal for some time now about wanting to clean up the game," Capuano said. "Guys are just I think incredulous given how often were tested, how sophisticated our testing is, that there are guys still trying to get around the system and take stuff and cheat. Guys are angry, guys want these guys punished." McGwire admitted in 2010 that used steroids during his career. That announcement came a few months after the Cardinals hired him as hitting coach. McGwire said it was a "tough question" whether he could be considered a trailblazer for PEDs in baseball and he has told players its not worth it. He hit 70 homers in 1998 to shatter Roger Maris record of 61 in 1961. Though hes 10th on the career list with 583 homers, McGwire believes its highly unlikely hell be voted into the Hall of Fame. A large part of the Baseball Writers of Association has taken a zero tolerance stance and he received just 16.9 per cent of the vote last year. "Unfortunately, I dont believe there will be a day that Ill be in and thats OK," McGwire said. "Thats the way things are, Ive dealt with it, Im OK with it." Teemu Selanne Jersey .

LYON, France -- Cristiano Ronaldo was tetchy and grouchy, then majestic.A bullet-header, a flex of his muscles for the cameras and an assist for Portugals second.Just three minutes work from the Portugal captain against Wales.Its why Ronaldo will lead Portugal into the European Championship final on Sunday. Its why Gareth Bale is going home as Wales astonishing Euro 2016 journey ended.Like so often at Real Madrid, Bale was eclipsed by Ronaldo.Within weeks theyll be teammates again. And after the whistle blew on Portugals 2-0 win, Ronaldo consoled Bale with an affectionate hug and words of comfort.Heres a closer look at duel that pitted the worlds two most expensive players against each other in the Lyon semifinal:---BIG MOMENTPortugal toiled through five games in France without winning inside 90 minutes. Ronaldo ensured there wouldnt be a sixth.The three-time world player of the year scored twice in a 3-3 draw with Hungary in the group stage and it took a return to the southern city to find the target again.It was a feat of Ronaldos athleticism. A cross came in from Raphael Guerreiro, Ronaldo soared above James Chester to meet it and then planted a header into the net in the 50th minute. Bale could only watch helplessly at the far post.Like so often, the celebration looked as important as the goal for Ronaldo.Ronaldo darted to the corner flag, went on his back, awaiting the acclaim of his teammates. They knew their duty. Then it was time for the solo shot, with the spinning jump celebration thats his trademark right in front of the cameras.All that was missing was a jersey being removed to flaunt his toned torso. Hes probably saving that for the final against Germany or France.---RECORD BREAKERTake your pick of the records in Ronaldos possession.Already the all-time leading scorer in the Champions League, Ronaldo is now level with Michel Platini with nine goals in European Championship finals.Hell hope a 10th in his second final sees Portugal crown a career in which he has won every major club honor with a first international title.---PROVIDERA scuffed shot three minutes after his goal looked typical of the Ronaldo who has labored at times in this tournament. Fortunately for Ronaldo, Nani got on the end of it, diverting the ball into the net.In this moment, it seemed there was no way back for Bale, who protested in vain to an assistant referree for offside.dddddddddddd---ONE-MAN TEAM?Compensating for Aaron Ramseys absence, Bale was forced to play deeper at times and lacked the creativity of his suspended teammate to create openings for him.Wales couldnt rely on Bale alone.But Bale at speed was still a sight of wonder that unsettled the Portuguese. He just couldnt produce a goal.After charging with the ball from inside his own half, surging past a trio of Portuguese men in mint green, Bale could only strike the dipping ball into the arms of goalkeeper Rui Patricio.---FREE-KICK FRUSTRATIONLess than six weeks after they won the Champions League together for the second time, Bale and Ronaldo couldnt both prevail in Lyon.Aside from the post-match hug, Bale and Ronaldo only came close to each other on the field once in the first half.Ronaldo tracked back to try to stop Bale, but pulled out and allow Bale to continue running down the right flank to whip in ball that a Welshman couldnt get on end of.Where Bale and Ronaldo were similar in Lyon was their wastefulness with free kicks.Thats nothing new for Ronaldo, who has now failed to score from 43 tournament free kicks for Portugal. And yet he still wont relinquish set-piece duties.Bale has scored from two free kicks during the tournament but there was only frustration for the 100 million-euro forward.The 26-year-old Bale, four years Ronaldos junior, has age on his side. But playing for such a modest nation -- despite its undeniable dedication -- Bale might not have a better chance to contest a final.---TUSSLESThe thorn in Ronaldos side from the Welsh wasnt Bale but Ashley Williams and more often, James Collins.Ronaldo was punching the turf in frustration, gesticulating toward the referee after no foul was awarded in the third minute when he was scythed down by Williams.Further refereeing frustration came when Collins held Ronaldo in a headlock but no penalty was awarded. Ronaldo also tried to go for an overhead kick, but instead fell and thrashed the ground.The Welsh defense -- particularly Collins -- was denying Ronaldo space to flourish in the first half.So when Ronaldo cracked his first shot on goal, Collins intervened to deflect it wide. Ronaldo found no such barrier when it mattered in the second half.
