Exactly my perspective on this. They can't let this slide even if it's a small issue because it undermines the justice system and they don't want to appear to let people slide on lying in court, especially if it's someone who did so in the public eye.
That said, it should have never been anywhere near the government. Steroids are bad but it's not like you're going to stop all athletes from taking them no matter what you do - much like the mass public and pot.
