Steroids artificially enchance your abilities. How about Lasik eye surgery? That totally artificially enhances your ability to see, it makes you like a bionic man. You usually no longer need glasses (and all the problems they bring like sweat and condensation), and sometimes your vision is way better than it would ever be normally.
How about Tommy John surgery? You are totally artificially moving stuff around in the body and creating a bionic arm with something that was not supposed to be there in the first place.
Lets face it, with those and other new legal drugs, the players of today have tremendous ways to make their bodies better than the players of years ago.
I also believe that a very high pct of players in the steroid era were on something, steroids, testosterone, HGH, etc. Way more than people think.
Its very tough for us to make a judgement as who is good or "clean" and who isnt. Soon, drugs will be developed that will be virtually un-detectable.
And now what about this latest story about A-Rod being allowed to use certain drugs by MLB???
To me, put everyone with the right numbers in the HOF, and if you want, put a line at the bottom that this player played in the steroid era.
