As bad as the steroid issue has been over the past several years, International Baseball Federation president Harvey Schiller thinks he can see the light.

The IBAF's top official has been confronted with the steroid problem at seemingly every stop during the campaign to get baseball back on the Olympic program. Schiller, however believes recent developments are slowly turning the tide in baseball's favor.

"I think that the key to this is we're going to a no-tolerance kind of activity," Schiller said after a press conference on Thursday in Tokyo. "And the fact that (U.S.) government is now into it and prosecuting people and I think the kind of shame people feel when they're exposed will help the overall effort."
