It was against the rules
However at the time most of these guys are accused of taking them there was no penalty. I think instituting a penalty after the fact is not right. I have very little disdain for these guys that did something in an attempt to make them better as opposed to the myriad of 1980's players that used drugs that made them worse ballplayers. If they were the best of their era they deserve to be in. The Hall is there to tell the history of the game and this IS part of the games history. Let the 'roiders in as well as Rose and Joe Jax.
