Sure, they work by a different mechanism than anabolic steroids.
Anyhow, the longer this goes on, the more I think it's not really consistent or coherent to worship the men who regularly took amphetamines and to revile the men who partook of the next generation of performance enhancers. We've had the argument ad nauseum of course, and people's views largely are what they are and all are entitled to respect.
For me there's also the whole overlay of all the users who don't get caught, or the players with the same level of evidence against them who are forgiven versus those who are not.
I would just drop the whole damn thing, and move on.

You are right, people are just beating a dead horse at this point. There is a system in place for the HOF. Writers have earned the right to elect who they want to the Hall of Fame. Why can't those who haven't, accept it. Is there anyone whose Hall of Fame matches those elected exactly? I doubt it, but only fans of certain players throw a fit on these boards.
