who thinks bonds used steriods?
467066
When I look at his before pictures and him in the present there is no doubt in my mind that he has/is using steroids. Mark Mcguire and Sammy Sosa are others that have probably used steroids.

Well, this debate will go on for a long time. For me, I feel as though it is wrong. But others will argue that there are many athletes who have used steriods, have not been caught and have been listed as record breakers.....my own opinion, let him break it, but do not record it in the record books.

You mean which steriods-fueled slugger, or real baseball player?\nBecause Barry Bonds hit the first 9, from 5/1/00 to 5/24/01.\nIn fact, Barry hit 23 of the first 25 Giants splashes, with two from Felipe Crespo (5/28/01 and 7/8/01).\nAlso in 2000, Todd Hundley (LA) and Luis Gonzalez (AZ) hit homers into the bay, but the Giants don't count them as Spash Hits.

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.

Many people do. That is why the reaction to his tying Babe Ruth has been so low key. When Hank Aarons was chasing Ruth in the early 1970s people were really excited. Many people think that he would not be there if it wasn't for steroids, although steroids don't help you win Golden Glove awards. Perhaps he should have an asterisk besides his name as happened with Roger Maris in the home run in a year record. It would be more appropriate for this record. Apparently, investigators are currently looking as to whether Bonds committed perjury in a 2003 trial. In general, Bonds isn't well liked and is under a taint. A recent book called "Game of Shadows" claims Bond starting using steroids in 1998.

Barry doesnt deserve the record. He isnt even worthy enogh of an asterisk. Barry Bonds is a cheater and should be band from the game with his stats from 1999 - 2004 erased. If you ask me, Barry Bonds was an amazing player and when he started BALCO he destoyed himself. was $7,000,000 not good enogh for him, he needed steroids so he could make more? I will be booing all the way, if he cries, I'll laugh. He will beat the Babe, but lets see him get 300 more home runs without drugs, win 95 games, and use crappier bats, ball, walls 500 feet away, and do it drunk. The Babe is better than Bonds, he has more home runs in less games, that should be the only thing you need to determine whose better. Along with a batting average of .342, I mean c'mon.

First, until you can prove that Barry took steroids or until anyone for that matter comes up with concrete evidence, facts, receipts or whatever that he bought them and took them then get off his back.  Don't believe everything you read and I wouldn't take Jose Canseco's word if you paid me and I sure ain't going to believe what I read in a book with no factual evidence beyond someone heard this from someone else that he took steroids.  It hasn't been proven yet that Barry knowingly took steroids and he admitted to unknowingly taking the cream and the clear which was given to him in a flax seed oil bottle so he doesn't have a problem admitting something cause he admitted to doing that.  The problem is since he is not approachable that the public hates him, maybe he's a private person and wants to be left alone by the media cause he knows they twist everything, personally I like the guy and I'm pulling for him to break the records cause he's a great hitter with great reflexes, steroids don't improve your reflexes or your skill with the bat, just your strength so he's still a prolific hitter with amazing unheard of stats like OBP and slugging percentage.  Giambi, he was honest so that's that, he admitted to taking them and said he was sorry, doesn't forgive everything but I was never a fan of his back when he played with Oakland so it didn't matter to me either way.  But don't be hard on someone like Barry with no facts and then love someone who admitted to taking them and had facts to back it up in Giambi. Go Bonds!!

more like BALCO BONDS he is a dicrace to baseball he should have an * next to his records. babe ruth and hank arron deserve to be worshiped by baseball fans not bonds and this all his store bought talent.\n\nwho would hit more homeruns the babe or bond on steroids.\n\nanswer babe 100,000 bonds 713!!!!!!!!

No....why do you think he can barely walk?  That is the only reason he used steroids was to help with the healing process of his knees.  This steroid thing is getting SOOOOO old!\n\nTo those who defend Bonds and say he never used steroids....I have 2 words for you.  Cream.  Clear.  \n\nUnfortunate, yes, but take the blinders off and face it...whether he knew it or not.  Steroids was in his repertoire and that's a fact.

I have to say that I agree with the allegations that he did use steroids. ESPN the Magazine just had a story about him with a picture of him in '93 and one of him recently. Same pose (stretching before going to bat with the bat over his head). He didn't even look like the same person. However, I'm still undecided on whether or not he was aware that he was using steroids. But, it seems to me that'd be kind of hard not to realize that you're getting that much bigger that fast. On the other hand, you still have to have some talent and hand-eye coordination to make contact with the ball. So, it's not like steroids were the only thing that have propelled him to third all-time in HRs. There's talent there, too. But, I love the Giants and I love watching Barry play. I'm glad he's so close to the HR second place record and I hope he breaks Ruth's second place record and comes back again next year. His agent said that he expects him to return next year, just not sure for what team...be a DH in the AL or continue to play for the Giants? I think everyone should just lay off him, though, and let the man play baseball...for goodness sakes' it's just a sport...and, Ruth and Mantle, etc. weren't all exactly saints either...

Nothing has been proven but the steroids Bonds has been alleged to have taken:\nThe Cream- Used in conjuction with other steroids to mask them from tests\nThe Clear (Tetrahydrogestrinone, THG)- An anabolic steroid\nInsulin\nTestosterone Decanoate (Mexican Beans)- A fast acting steroid\nTrenbolone- It is used to improve muscle quantity of cows\n\nArnold Schwarzenegger used steroids in his body building career before the US deemed them illegal. The primary steroid he used was Dianabol although he probably used others in conjuction

Rose didnt' cheat so he's out of the race. Rogers  who cares? Half the pitchers in base baseball are doctoring the ball. Every year a few get caught. Some like Perry made a career out of it. \n\nBonds, Sosa, McGwire, Canseco, Palmiero, Caminitti. Sheffied, McGriff, Giambi are just a few of those busted cold with steriods. \nWith McGwire I think it actually hurt his stats. McGwire and Canseco were both TOO strong. They lost huge parts of thier careers to injuries I think were steroid related. If you watch McGwire's swing nobody ever designed a more perfect HR swing. It was perfect. Most of McGwire's blasts were overkill. If he were not on Roids I think McGwire would have hit more HRs. It's meaningless now since he used them and it taints his stats. \n\nBonds would have been in the hall. I think Sosa will help keep Bonds and McGwire out. After seeing declines in power and general hitting and basically facing the end of his career suddenly Bonds beats his best HR total ever in a year most thought would be his last??? Then the next year hits 70+ HRs. His stats alone bust him and show exactly why Steroids are banned. \n\nOn a side not. People Bonds ADMITED using steroids. He said it was by accident but his steroid use is proven. Whether he did it intentionally or not the fact is he was roided out when he set that record. \n\nThen you have Sosa. Not only did he use steroids. He was twice caught with corked bats. Not once, but twice in MLB games. He was also caught using one in a pre-season game if I remember correctly. So I'd have to go with Sosa. He's a known Steroid user, busted with corked bats and suspected of HG usage. What DIDN"T he do to enhance his own personal stats? He sure didn't do it for the team. \n\nSo Sosa hands down is the biggest cheater the game has seen in years. Not since Ty Cobb was there a player that broke more rules. Unlike Ty Cobb Sosa was motivated purely for personal stats. Cobb wanted to win. He also enjoyed his personal stats but Cobb did most of his cheating to help his team.

I've said it several times and I'll say it again -- using steroids was not illegal when Bonds illegediely used steroids.  Furthermore, pitchers are strong and better now... something that can't be said about the days when guys like Babe Ruth played.\n\nFurthermore, steroids have brought the game back to where it is today.  Without the HR race between Mcguire and Sosa, baseball would still be a lame sport (after the strike of 94) that it had been.\n\nBonds did not do anything wrong, according to the then-current rules of baseball.\n\nTo answer the question -- no.  The A's or any team for that matter, should not throw up a gimme.  He needs to earn it, like he did with numbers 1 through 713.

no. two reasons. number 1 its eveident that barry bonds has cheated, look at his body 2 years ago and look at his body today. its obvious he used steroids, so that makes hima cheater and number 2 this isnt the all time home run record, that belongs to hank aaron with 755

I guess you can look at it as he found a loophole.  We should blame MLB just as much as Bonds.  But, it still doesn't change the fact that what he did was wrong.  I personally think he is a cheater and should be banned from baseball and Hall of Fame.

Being able to actually "legally" prove that he lied to the Grand Jury can be a tough job! However, I think Bonds knew damned well exactly what supplements and substances he was taking and needs to take full responsibility for these actions. He may not eventually brake Aaron's 755 home run record if he decides not to return in 2007? Poor guy does NOT deserve any more sympathy.  Boo-hoo...Like that old adage: "You do the Crime then You do the time!"
