Exactly Scorpion. That's what McGwire did and the whole issue relating to him just faded away even after he later admitted to using. Maybe the Rocket should've hired McGwire's attorney.
You can thank Nixon for all of this hysteria when he signed the Controlled Substance Act in 1970 which created the DEA & gave it the power to classify drugs (and now supplements), allowing it to enforce laws however it wishes with no consequences.
