Now, answer me this, yes or no....was steroid use by MLB players, without a prescription, illegal under law and prohibited by MLB from 1991 forward?
Hint:
According to the Mitchell Report, Congress, MLB and Mark McGwire, the answer is "yes."
Your answer is? Remember just yes or no. No "playing semantics."

But there should be. You keep talking about a ban, but what does that have to do with this discussion. Big Mac was never suspended as neither was Sosa, Bonds or even Alex Rodriquez (and he admitted to using and is a current player).
Pacman Jones was accused of getting in trouble with the law; he was suspended for a year. Michael Vick was not even convicted yet and he was suspended indefinitely by the NFL and the commissioner. But many players were accused of using a drug and in some cases proven and nothing has happen to them in Major League Baseball. There are well over 100 players in the Mitchell Report and not a single player has been suspended for what they were accused of in that report. Man, those are some really mean laws on the books.
