Taking PED's isn't cheating the game? Sure it is, the difference is the everybody is doing mentality right now. If PED's wasn't cheating they wouldn't be named Performance Enhancing. Pete Rose has served his time and without needing to take performance enhancing drugs was one of he best baseball players to ever play the game. He deserves to be in the hall of fame, what Bonds did and all these other clowns was enhance their god given abilities by cheating. That's why the Olympics are so great, records are records and if they find any use of drugs, whatever accomplishments that were achieved are stripped away, that is so the accomplishments transcend generations and preserve the integrity of the games.
If Pete Rose isn't allowed into the hall of fame and a guy like Barry Bonds gets in then the integrity of baseball is dead with no chance to recover. In the grad scheme of things, I'd rather see Pete let in and all these other guys banned for life from the hall.
