Any major league player who took steroids with or without a prescription after 1991 was in violation of the MLB ban and, if he did so without a prescription, was in violation of Federal Law.

These are facts that are backed up by the Mitchell Report and Major League Baseball.

Yes there are sources that references what could be taken at that time.

For those that do no want to read, the policy was taken into affect in 2006.
