I am a bit at a lose why anyone cares about the steroid use other than there is a rule against it.
Open to hear the why's and why nots.

For me its one word- integrity. When this game was invented it was played hard nosed by guys using their god given talent and that was it. Granted roid's dont necessarily help you hit the ball but it does give guys an edge who are recovering faster. When you recover faster you play better, thus an unfair advantage
On my college baseball team we had two guys who we suspected of using roids. Both got injured and never played again.
