I dont see your point.

At some level all serious baseball fans knew steroids/PEDs were a major part of baseball from the late 80s thru at least the mid 2000s (and probably still today).

At some level those fans and members of the media rejected users of PEDs as being cheaters - but they generally did not apply the same logic to the players they had personal affinity for.

Going back retrospectively to see how hypocritical almost everyone was on the subject is probably a healthy exercise IMO - but picking out individuals for special condemnation is probably just going to be a more refined form of hypocrisy on the subject.
