The problem is that there are others in the HoF who are suspected of having committed the same transgression but they just never got caught.

So it's not like the HoF is "pure."

It's not like the "steroid era" has come and gone either. There have been plenty of players getting 80-game suspensions over the past several years.

It's impossible to siphon out all the violators. So we can recognize their accomplishments, but it should be made clear that they used performance enhancing drugs to attain their lofty status.
