Default For the Record: On how long steroids have been banned in MLB (since 1971)
Posted By: davidcycleback

According to George Mitchell, a former Federal Judge and US Attorney, steroid use, except when legally prescribed by doctor, has been banned in MLB since 1971. In 1971 baseball banned the player use of all prescription drugs that aren't doctor prescribed to the user. In 1991 steroids were specifically named. So, according the Mitchell, steroids and related without legal prescription have against baseball's rules since 1971.
