A lot of players get in trouble for illegally taking prescription medicine-- meaning taking it without a doctor's prescription. Steroids and HGH are legal if and only if prescribed by a physician. And, in fact, MLB does on rare occasion allow players to take steroids or HGH if they have legitimate, physician identified medical reason that requires the treatment. In recent years one actively playing MLB player was allowed to use HGH because he had a genetic medical condition.
Duly note that federal law states that steroids cannot be prescribed for athletic performance reasons.
