Ask the players' union, they're the ones who blocked it.

Did they stiffen it up when Bonds broke the single-season HR record in 2001? No. Did they stiffen it up when his head inexplicably grew to the size of a sea manitee's? No. Because they had nothing tangible on him then. Since then Bonds has admitted to a grand jury that he 'unknowingly' used steroids and a tremendous amount of corroborating evidence has come to light implicating him. You're getting so caught up in the Ruth thing that you're ignoring all these facts.
