One difference between Perry's brand of cheating and Bonds' alleged cheating is that Perry's opponent had the right to ask the umpire to check for anything illegal while a particular game was going on. A team victimized by a steroid abuser has no remedy other than to wait for him to fail a random drug test. Perry was accused over and over again during his career and seldom, if ever, caught. This suggests that he was either damn good at cheating(a talent in itself) or that he dealt mostly in mind games, making the hitter think that he doctored the ball.
