...with the San Diego Padres; to baseball's Hall of Fame; by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Voters overwhelmingly rejected nominee Mark McGwire, who slugged 583 career homers and was the first man to hit 70 in a single season, but has refused to address persistent allegations of steroid...

(Testosterone is a muscle-building anabolic steroid; epitestosterone, a related substance, has no performance-enhancing effects.)
