And while I'm not condoning what players like Bonds and Clemens did, I think it's a bit hypocritical to have Bud Selig in the Hall of Fame. He certainly didn't care about them used PED's when it was generating millions upon millions of dollars for his team/the sport.
Furthermore if you draw the line at someone getting injected with a substance but condone someone as morally deplorable as Cap Anson has been allowed to stay in the Hall of Fame, then I really don't know what to say anymore.

I agree with you about the hypocrisy of Selig being inducted and the PED players not being. For Anson, it's harder because you can't easily apply today's accepted behavior with what was considered acceptable back in his time. He wasn't the only one responsible for baseball being segregated even though he certainly played a significant part.
