Trust me, I hate it that MLB is celebrating Aroids 600th homerun, but if he hadnt had his name leaked he'd never have admitted it.
I think the best answer is to move on, and stop asterisking, or thinking about changing results of races.
Looking at MLB to what to do in PED cases is like asking a 15 year old how to drive. What is there punish the hell out of guys 50 games or something not even a full season.
And cycling and the TDF already have a precedent on former winners admitting doping. Riis admitted doping (yeah Mr. 60% himself) and ASO first struck him from the record book, without naming a winner at all. But has since (the next year I believe) put him back into the record book but attached a note that says he doped. I think this is about as fair are your going to get.
