Yeah but you're ignoring one thing: Lance and Bonds would
still have dominated their fields if they were clean. These same people who weren't competitive because they did the right thing still wouldn't have been competitive enough if they had cheated. Those "untold others" still would have been untold. Canon fodder is still essentially canon fodder if you come along at the wrong time.
Reminds me of the Ali era in boxing. Frazier, Holmes and Foreman ALL would have taken a turn as champion if they weren't unfortunate enough to come along during Ali's reign.
