You think Barry Bonds will die young because of steroids?

Yes, it's like a deal with the devil. Barry Bonds got a boost in power but he had to give up years of his life for it. Even though he has stopped taking them, the steroids still will play an effect on his body. He knew what he was doing, but I guess he thought breaking the all-time homerun record was worth it. He'll be sorry in about 10 ti 15 years.

NO  I do not think Barry has ever been suspended nor found guilty of any illegal substances in his body. I will guarantee you he has to pee in the bottle at regular intervals. The steroid use is only rumor and has never been proven as fact. By the way, why is it only star hitters are being accused. Did both Nolan Ryan and Roger Clemens find the fountain of youth in their 40"s or was it in a needle?

First of all let me tell you about Barry Bonds, since hes been in baseball he will never win a world series for the fact he thinks of himself. In Pittsbugh it was proven and now in San Fransico it continues to show, Both ways huh he can have it both ways and he will still be a loser, drugs or no drugs. Did you ever hear him say anything about breaking Hank Arrons record dont think so all is is saying is how he wants to break Babe Ruths record, wonder why can you take one guess why

Barry Bonds would win because the Babe is dead, but if they were both in their prime the Babe would win by a lot.

Yes, Barry Bonds should retire. Basseball is a team sport. It seems that Bonds is only intrested in breaking the homerun record and not the welfare of his team. He is over rated.

Did you see him when he first started playing, he was smaller than Barry Bonds and now he is twice the size of Bonds. If Bonds did steroids, this guy must of been eating them by the shovel full.

I think he used steroids back from 1998 through 2002.  I think just to be fair, they should wipe out his records from those years.  And Sammy Sosa may never play baseball again, from what i heard was he retired.

It will be worth a lot on aesthetic value, but not nearly as much in monetary value after this whole steroid thing. There will probably be a large debate whether to even keep Bond's stats valid.

I am very happy...I hate Barry Bonds and hope he does not break Hank's record.  Hank Aaron did it on talent and Barry is just full of lies and steroids!!

Although Bonds has never tested positive for steroids. His body and style of play has changed a lot since his younger days.\n\nPicture of Barry Bonds approximately 10 year ago. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedia/photos_from_the_field/2004/12/03/bonds.years/bonds1.jpg\n\nPicture of Barry Bonds today. http://www.sfbappa.org/SF28.images/9%20BEST%20BARRY%20BONDS%20PHOTO/0HM1.JPG\n\nObviously his body and muscles have changed a lot in about  10 years, which usually does not happen to people over the age of 27.

I live right down the road from Hank Aaron he is one of our greatest sports players ever here in Mobile..\n\nHank said on the local news not long ago that he was ashamed of Barry Bonds using steroids.\nHank would of been proud to lose the record but he is just old fashion to not using steroids.\nNow some people may say different but i saw it on the news long before now.\n\nHe said he would not back him up on breaking the record because he did not use steroids to get where he had been at one time.\n\nWell i guess some people may think I'm sticking with Hank because he is from my home town.\nIts not that its just when Hank said it he said it with such saddest for Barry Bonds.\n\nHank Aaron has a big heart baseball fans and if Babe Ruth where alive he would speak louder than Hank has on this issue, for Babe Ruth was more out-spoken.\n\nHank keeps a low profile but when ask he will speak his mind.\nBarry Bonds will go down as a cheater his record should not stand and worst of all is his health.\n\nWas the steriods worth not living to see his grandchildren\nbecause everone know the long term effects maybe he will get lucky.\n\nThe best thing Barry could do at this time in his life is to go around and talk to kids and let them know why they should never use steriods.\nNow that would be away to help others.\n\nYou can see it he his not nearly as good of baseball player without steriods. \n\nThe End

If you are careful, do your research and learn about the different kind of steroids, doses, and proper use, they are surprisingly safe.\n\nThere are thousands of steroid users in America, its very rare that one of them dies in a given year.

Steroids seem to be the easy way out. Working out at the gym is hard work, and some players are so lazy, they want to do it the easy way. Barry Bonds--and probably plenty of other athletes--could have been respected, great athletes if they had been willing to work. But they just took steroids. Athletes like Barry Bonds, Mark Mcquire (sp?), Rafael Palmiero--they all broke huge records. People celebrated--until they found out the horrible truth. It caused so much confusion in baseball. What to do with them? Did they have to put asterisks by all the records? (715*\n*used steroids)\nI mean, that just gives kids bad ideas. Steroids\na) RECK your body\n2) injure your chances of being a respected athlete\nd) are just plain cheap\nMost of those athletes are liars, too! They say that they didn't intentionally take steroids. That's why I respect Jason Giambi--he admitted his mistake.\nI saw a story on the news about a high school football player who died. He had been taking steroids and they recked his body.

Barry Bonds is better.  I don't know the statistics but I know that Barry Bonds (according to my dad) was a good young player in the '90's and he was skinny.  He was able to play well and just didn't get that much attention, that's all.  I would say he is a better player because he would've passed Babe Ruth's record even without steroids; it's just that now that everyone knows he took steroids to get attention, he looks bad.  He also to most people looks like all his home runs came from steroids, but 'tis false in my opinion.  He just wanted attention for being big and powerful QUICKLY, so took the short way and did steroids to have immediate attention.  He is still a better player, but just made the wrong choice.  He could've begun to get attention when he was getting closer to the home run record; he already was the sole member of the 400-400 club (400 home runs, 400 stolen bases), and eventually he would've gotten attention and been inducted into the Hall of Fame for his accomplishments; THEN everybody would see how great he was.  But now it's all negative attention.  I repeat, though, that Barry Bonds is a better player.

first off the MLB doesnt give anyone drugs. the current situation surrounding barry bonds is his past use of performance enhancing drugs i.e steroids. if it ends up being proven that he has used these drugs major league baseball will not aknowledge his accoplishments.

i hope it was on purpose.  I also hope that bonds gets hit every single game from now till he retires.
