Except that many of the banned substances are extremely harmful (see Lyle Alzado), and illegal unless prescribed for a legit medical treatment. I suppose giving the okay for OTCs like ephedrine could be conscionable, but that would put players who are opposed to performance enhancers at a disadvantage. The rules are clear, players who take the risk to break them should bear the consequences.
