You still need skill to play steroids don't give you talent.
Sports are a run on rules. They are in fact a more constricted subset of rules then what is allowed in general society. So if the rules for a sport say that only one offensive player can move then it is a foul if two of them do so. If the rules say no chainsaws on field, that is the rules.

If steroids have no benefit... then why spend up big and use them?

Maybe one day we will develop a neo-steroid that has no negative side effects and will make the body repair damaged nerve cells only the way up to a broken neck. It will also improve red blood count and the ability of the body to use the oxygen, give a reptiles ability to manipulate heart beat and countless other things. We might find that you need to be using this for at least 3 months to mitigate a broken neck.

If such a substance existed we would have insurance companies making such a substance mandatory. But until that day, if the substance is illegal within a sport then it is cheating.
