Nolan Ryan led the league in strikeouts many times, as follows.
Ages 25-32: 7 times
Ages 33-39: 0 times
Ages 40-43: 4 times
He also ranks 308th in career K/BB ratio, but that's a separate issue. Halladay is 24th. Pettite is 166th.

Ages 33-39 were all with the Astros. They limited his pitch-count significantly after signing him (far fewer complete games as a result) and you can see that he made a monumental effort in reducing the number of walks issued during that time. This also impacted his K numbers. His K/BB was actually better over that period.
To insinuate that PEDs were involved late in his career is just flat out wrong.
