"a law without enforcement is pointless" - your words.

in both cases there was a law on the books and no way to enforce it. So does that make it OK to go ahead and break the law?

no, MLB did not have the power to enforce the rule because the players' union did not allow testing.

1. I posted it because people are still trying to say Barry didn't cheat because there was no rule against steroids in baseball - that is patently FALSE.

2. the policy is not pointless, because if MLB's investigation finds that Bonds used steroids going back to 1999 or whenever then they have legal recourse to penalize him for it.
