I am unsure as to the rules at that time (I wasn't born until 75). However, if he did use it as often as you say, and it was against the rules, then I say take him out of the hall.

Let me ask you this though, does it bother you that he used it or that he used it and is going for the record? Suppose he used it and was closing in on 600 homeruns instead would you care?

Yes, it bothers me that they use it. That means some kid busting his butt the legal way won't make it cause someone is doing it the illegal way...however, I am 10 times more upset that he is trying to taint a record, especially such a big time record like the all time homer record. I was upset about it when he hit 600, and now I am irrate that he's going to beat 755.
