Players are eligible for the Hall of Fame if they spent at least 10 years in the major leagues and were retired for five years. While there is no formal disqualification for PED-linked players, this significantly reduces their chances of getting elected as most voters are reluctant to include people involved in such controversies as candidates. The best example of this is Barry Bonds, the all-time home run king.
