Do you mean:

Would you draft a prospect who got caught taking steroids?

If you think there isn't a large proportion of pro-athlete prospects who aren't using chemicals to give themselves an edge you are kidding yourself. The edge from steroids is most pronounced in young people. Many 17-19 year olds aren't filled out and can't grow beards.

I have a friend who played A league baseball. He said his entire team was on something.

You could also make the case that since this guy has already been busted once, he's going to be a lot more careful going forward than a guy who hasn't been busted.
