I'm 100% okay with this because no one, and by no one, I mean no one, can say how many home runs he added because of his cheating. Until someone, anyone, can definitively say how many home runs he added through cheating, and thus how many to take off of his totals, his numbers stand.

These are questions because of the bold, not a challenge to the bold: Is a rule even a rule if it's not enforced? If a rule is not enforced then doesn't the non-enforcement then become "the rule"?
