The main difference between using steroids and Ben Gay was that the former is a controlled substance that people shouldn't use with proper prescriptions.
Now it turns out what Bonds used wasn't a controlled substance and it wasn't illegal. So it's indeed just like Ben Gay.
Of course there are still a lot of grey area, but now it does look like the government knowingly tried to get someone with accusations they knew wasn't on solid grounds.
