Drugs are drugs. (The OP said drugs, not specific drugs. )  Being able to be relaxed at the plate, or not be mentally consumed with the NY media, enhances performance.
      Also, I GUARANTEE they took amphetamines while in the bigs, and likely the minors.  Those are performance enhancing.
     Baseball, and it’s fans, need to get over themselves. Pitchers and hitters were juicing. 
Who people hate for it and don’t is a matter of personality, and not fairness. (Andy Petite, Big Papi good, Rogers and Barry, bad.)  Lots of guys used: only a few are constantly derided for it. 
     Baseball is entertainment; nothing more or less.  As an entity, baseball and the union knowingly turned its eye to, tacitly endorsed/encouraged steroid use.  All parties (baseball, the players, the union, owners, advertisers)  happily reaped the rewards of the home run, because “chicks dig the long ball”. 
       For a sport which knowingly allowed Gaylord Perry into the Hall of Fame to selectively call out/punish others who broke the rules is hypocrisy.
Baseball is full of cheaters.  Always has been.  Yankee fans love Craig Nettles: cheated.  Pete Rose: cheated
