Really?
According to MLB and the Mitchell Report and the Players Association steroids have been specifically banned since 1991.

And BTW, Big Mac took Androstenedione and had the substance in his locker in 1998. It is a steroid or has steroid substances in it and Big Mac was never suspended for it and was never told to stop using it.

Andro was legal at the time. No one has stated otherwise.

You can call it whatever you want to, unless they test for a substance, it is not illegal.

In your world perhaps. but in the real world the ban was not conditional on testing and still isn't. The ban is the ban. Testing and suspension are distinctly separate issues. Just like in the rest of the society, a criminal act is a criminal act, it is not defined by its punishment.
You may wish otherwise, but that's all it is, a wish.
