Numerous sportswriters say that even suspected steroid users should not be elected for Hall of Fame

The American sportswriter Tom Verducci says about debates linked with possibility of steroid users to be voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. But as it generally happens, this explanation displays just confusion of sportswriters about steroids.
The Baseball Writers Association of America (BWAA) is a professional association of baseball reporters who elect players for the National Baseball Hall of Fame. All writers that are members of the BWAA already not less than 10 years have opportunity to vote for up to 10 players for the Hall of Fame.
Recently a debate took place between members of the BWAA. They discussed whether admitted or only suspected consumers of steroids and other forbidden preparations might entry into Cooperstown.
Members of the BWAA usually should comment their votes: they have to explain why they have voted pro or contra certain affirmations. Some of them confirm that doping destructs the integrity of sports and administration of forbidden medicines is often considered by them to be immoral.
As for Tom Verducci, he doesn’t believe that intake of steroids is necessarily a moral question. This writer says that steroids help consumers to take unfair advantage over those who don’t dope. According to this American sportswriter, performance-enhancing drugs make competitions unfair. So, administration of prohibited preparations promotes unfairness in sports. That’s why Verducci denies any link between doping and morality. This sportswriter claims that it is a question that is connected with performance but not to morality. So, this writer supposes that steroid users should not be allowed to be in the Hall of Fame. But he has voted for Jeff Bagwell, an admitted steroid user. This athlete has admitted that he had administrated androstenedione. It is necessary to note that this drug was not enumerated among anabolic steroids, when Bagwell used it. According to the Control Act 2004, it is listed among banned products. Since it wasn’t legally clamed to be a steroid, Tom Verducci decided to vote for the consumer of this medicine; however, it was always considered to be an anabolic-androgenic steroid by scientists. Furthermore, it was said that Bagwell just became bigger but didn’t induce his performance due to administration of androstenedione.
Nonetheless, the decision of Tom Verducci to vote for the admitted consumer of the steroid is quite controversial. The following question appears: “Maybe Tom Verducci is not against intake of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs by sportspersons?” Since this sportswriter doesn’t believe that doping is a moral question, he may suggest that enhancement of performance is not a real problem.
Many persons suppose that administration of steroids represents evil because they are illegal.
