It makes a bit more sense in the full context: "What you are doing is taking advantage, which is different than cheating," he said. "To me, it's like what you have in the game now whenever a base runner relays the catcher's signs to the hitter. They call that cheating now, but when I played and we thought somebody was relaying signs, the pitcher would call out the catcher and tell him to do a better job of disguising the damned things."
I think he's saying it's business as usual, so it isn't really cheating. Just taking advantage of the allowances that have always been there. Interesting spin, but not altogether unreasonable. Sadly amusing that baseball and football to a lesser extent have chosen to go down this road. I thought T&F was the shining example for all sports of why not to dig into the drug closet...
