The only reason for me, and its a good enough reason to enforce a ban in my opinion, is that steroid abuse is very, very unhealthy and can shorten lifespan. If you dont ban it, then you basically de facto require its use by all ballplayers, and you condemn them to all the damage they cause.
I believe steroids should be banned, not for the sanctity of the game, but for the sake of the players. Now, the other PED's, if we find that they are harmless or nearly harmless for long-term health, then I wont care so much about them, you basically have to work out and eat right to be a pro athlete, if its not harmful, we'd just throw whatever supplement on the list of requirements.
