My personal take on steroids in sports is that they represent an unfair advantage and ought to be banned.
However, this is not the job of the federal government. It is the job of the individual sports league. If the weightlifting league or the baseball leagues want to let the Schwarzeneggers and the Cansecos use, then that is their right. But personally, I would take steps to prohibit steroid use were I a commissioner in one of those sports.
As steve Sailer has pointed out, sports have rules and there is nothing untoward with the league determining that steroids are an unfair advantage, anything more than there is wrong with people running a cross-country running meet determining that you cannot use a motorcycle to "run" the course.
On the other hand, it should be the league's call, not the federal government's.
That is all.
