No, it isn't a myth. Memos sent out by commissioners don't constitute an actual change to the rules. In order for something to become a rule, it has to be agreed upon by the MLBPA in CBA negotiations. That never happened until 2003. Hence, taking steroids was never against the rules of baseball, and by accounts of baseball people at the time, it was widely encouraged by the establishment.
