Question by Georgie: Does MLB have a comprehensive set of rules (laws) that includes banned steroids?
and other banned offenses?

Steroids, and other performance enhancing drugs have been around for a long time.
No one can say for sure even if great players in the 60’s and 70’s used steroids.
Amphetamines were popular in the 60’s, and of course alcohol is still used.
Alcohol being a stimulant in the early stages also relieves tensions and some pain.

Government laws should have no impact on the actions of MLB unless it is
specifically stated in MLB law. MLB law can cover a wide range of offenses by
stating that a player shall be penalized if they commit a felony. Obviously the
NFL has no such rule since Plaxico Burress can play after getting out of jail.
