What do members of Baseball Hall of Fame believe about steroid users?


Several Hall of Famers claim that steroid users must never be in their club. They believe that such baseball players, as Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens don’t deserve to be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. They are very pleased that these persons didn’t receive needed percentage of voting to enter the Hall of Fame. According to them, it is fair. They allege that otherwise our kids will be in confusion. They will believe that they are permitted to administer steroids and whatever they want and remain unpunished. So, it would be a negative example for future generations. Al Kaline, Goose Gossage and some others that belong to the Baseball Hall of Fame have this point of view. They even notice about cycling, as a good example to follow.
What happened actually in the world of cycling? The successful American cyclist was accused of administering banned medications. As a result, he was stripped of his 7 Tour de France titles and sentenced to life-time ban.
Thus, certain Hall of Famers note that cycling is a good example for baseball. Baseball players that are found guilty of doping should be banned from this sport entirely. Record books must not contain information about success of those that have been caught using forbidden substances. Those that have cheated should be punished appropriately.
Nonetheless, not every member of the Baseball Hall of Fame has similar opinion. For example, Juan Marichal supports Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, Roger Clemens, etc. He says that these baseball players should be elected for the Hall of Fame. These athletes are stars in baseball. Nobody could prove that they have actually used performance-enhancing drugs. Since there is no any proof, suspicions mean nothing.
Under rules related to voting for the Hall of Fame, baseball players that have great skills and those that have contributed to their teams obviously should be elected for the Hall of Fame.  Undoubtedly, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were great players. They made obvious contributions to their teams. That’s why they should be elected for the Hall of Fame.
