If you use something that isn’t banned, hard to say you’re doing something wrong. This seems fairly cut and dry. Bonds and others knew what they were doing was wrong. That some have slipped through doesn’t mean they should get in. That’s letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. Good is trying to keep known violators out. That’s what the actual voters seem to be doing.
