A catcher snuck a mother****ing peeled potato onto the field, threw it into left field when a runner stle third, and then tagged him out with the actual ball when he ran home. Many of those players are in the HOF. Who gives a **** if people take vitamins, supplements, or steroids?
This is stupid. Baseball is a game. The objective is to throw the ball, hit the ball, and catch the ball. What people do to their own bodies in order to make them better at it shouldn't make a bit of difference.

I agree with your end result, but you are conflating gamesmanship with cheating, and there is a difference.
