I'm not sure how that makes it cheating. Stupid, yes, but if risking one's health is the criterion by which we determine what is or is not acceptable in sport, then all pro football players cheat every time they take the field, and the game should be outlawed.

From what I understand, there was not. If you have a link that proves steroids were specifically against MLB rules during the period in which Bonds was alleged to have used them, please provide.

Your argument, GS, appears to be that whatever performance enhancers the fans accept are perfectly okay, while those that might offend the fans are not, even if they are not specifically banned. Is this your point?
