Players cheat and use performance enhancing drugs.  Players have always cheated and used performance enhancing drugs. There is no bygone era of yester year to yearn for and shit over current generations for doing.

He got suspended for taking a diuretic which is a banned substance, but not a PED. You should correct your title OP.

Also people vastly overrate the impact of performance enhaing drugs. With millions of dollars on the line you take every advantage you can get but a large portion of banned substance are actually focused way more around recovery and injury prevention and don't actually make you better at a sport. Obviously recovery matters but iits not making you a more accurate 3 pt shooter or a better passer, etc.

When Caminiti won MVP while juicing he said his biggest advantage was that every day felt like opening day. So much of the drug use in baseball is around recovery and stimulants (greenies in the coffee) because it’s so important to performance. The advantage is undeniably huge.

It was only a diuretic he tested positive for but he probably was using that to mask something. Oh well I liked when Bonds and Mark were hitting homeruns baseball was at least a little fun to watch when the Tigers weren't good.
