Lemme jump in here, I don't know much about steroids because I would never think about taking them.
However - you don't need to know much about steroids to know why they're wrong in sporting events. It's the basic principle that is the problem.
I know enough to know that there is too much inconclusive evidence about the long term health effects of steroids. Introducing something so pivotal to the body grants it an illegal status until there is that bit of solid evidence. Therefore, it is illegal.
And faced with these facts, although I believe one should have the free will to do whatever they want to their bodies, when it concerns massive organizations such as pro baseball (a privelege granted to athletes), and every other sport - it needs to be moderated and kept illegal because there are honest athletes who don't want to take a risk and subject their bodies to something potentially harmful.
That there is the reason it should be kept against regulations.
And besides - I believe in purity and natural means of athletic ability. Not lab rat experimental bullshit. Athleticism should be about one's natural ability without any other aids.
