Um, no.

Yes, really.
If that's the case then all the amphetamine users need to be banned too. So what then, the last 40 years of baseball should just be wiped off the record books because all these "illegal" drug users who ruined the game? Gimme a fucking break.
Should you be banned from your job because of drug use? I'm not talking about being convicted of a crime, but using an illegal drug and not being caught.
Apply the same fucked up standards that's being thrown about against these players to your own life and see what you think is fair.
Everyone has got to get off their high horse on this one. There is not a single profession, industry, or what have you that isn't beset by unethical behavior that I'm sure has a lot more severe consequences on the daily lives of others as opposed to a bunch of meatheads playing a game.

Bingo. If we banned people for casual drug (and yes even alcohol, caffeine and nicotine are drugs) use, legal or otherwise, practically no one in this country would be employed.
Um, no.
