There is no evidence that Sammy used steroids other than the added musculature and homers. Perhaps you might want to add the fact that he did cheat in using a corked bat--he did that, so why would he be troubled by the illegality of steroids?
No one has ever come forth and said they saw him use anything. He's never admitted to using anything.
That being said, given the widespread use at the time, I'd be shocked if Sammy never used. I doubt if we will ever know for sure. And you know what? It makes absolutely no difference to me--Sammy was the most exciting Cubs player in my lifetime.

I'm 100% fine with this. I'm just glad there's an actual plan in place that isn't, "Let's load up on retreads and hope we get lucky." I'm a little tired of that plan.
