You can't get more inexact than speculation based on how somebody "looks." Countless "skinny" players have been caught over the last few years....even a lot of "speed" guys.
I'm not a fan of McGwire, nor do I support his use of steroids. I'm merely realistic about the use of steroids in baseball (and in all of sports for that matter). Stop being naive and realize that the majority of players were using...and many of them still are.
If McGwire doesn't make the HOF, then you have to pull out guys like Hank Aaron and Willie Mays for amphetamines, do you not? What's the difference?
And don't you then also have to investigate everybody who ever made the HOF to see if they ever did something illegal, and also take them out too?

The real tragedy is that clean players not only had their legitimate stats cheapened by those who cheated but also that they have to suffer insult to injury by being painted with the same brush as those who cheated.
The other false premise being peddled is the notion that steroids are no different than uppers. The impact steroids has had on the record books is devastating and irreversable. To compare the two is nothing more than a talking point for apologists of those who used steroids to enhance their performance.
