WASHINGTON — Former FBI agent Greg Stejskal, a columnist for ticklethewire.com, tells ESPN.com that he didn’t need baseball slugger Mark McGwire’s confession on Monday to know he was taking illegal steroids.

Stejskal says informants told the FBI about McGwire’s doping regimen two decades ago and added that it was unfortunate he wasn’t caught back then during a federal steroid probe dubbed Operation Equine that Stejskal helped lead for the FBI.

Stejskal tells ESPN.com that the feds never considered charges against McGwire, but had they, it might have brought more attention to the problem.
