Innocent until proven guilty.

MLB realizes that they're in a mess with this whole steriod thing, which includes both McGwire and Sosa. They're trying to be hush-hush as much as possible and hope it will go away. But with Bonds now chasing the all-time HR record, that's not gonna happen.

Athletes are getting better and better but their cheating the game. It has gotten to the point that any time someone has done something great, people in the back of their heads are saying" Are they on steriods?" People/Fans are always going to wonder, this was never like this 10 years ago, but now, its a main stay in all sports. Unfortunitly it has really hindered sports, esp baseball, with the whole Barry Bonds thing.

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?

Haha Barry bonds is a chicken. Wouldnt even fight Springer last night. Then again, he would get his *** kicked as his body is old and crippled enough.\n\nIf you were on his team and he charged the mound, would you back him up? Didnt think so. Doubt his teammates would either. The sooner he retires, the better for the game.

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.

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!!

This racism thing is really really old. \n\nBonds has always been a selfish player. His fights with teamates go back to the start of his career. He's never been a team player. Bonds had a way of opening his mouth and insulting his teamates or glorifying Bonds early in his career so he quit talking to the media at all for many years. \n\nIt's not an allegation, the only thing in question is whether Bonds knowingly used steroids. Considering that before he started using steroids he rarely reached the 40 HR mark, that the age he suddenly hit 50+ HRs was an age that should have seen his power numbers in decline and the fact that as soon as he stopped his power numbers did decline dramatically is furthor proof. \n\nThere was a previous question about the Ruth thing. Simple thing is Ruth was the Bambino. He invented HR hitting. Ruth won his first HR crown as a pitcher who got to hit only every 4th day or an occasional pinch hitting appearance. Ruth still defines power as Ruth needed 5,000 fewer ABs than anyone one else to hit 650+ HRs. \n\nAaron's record when it falls will have the same shine. Aaron was not a power hitter, he just plain hit well and lots of those fell for Home runs. Wasn't until Aaron's last few seasons that he really swung for the fences. One day somebody will pass his record. Then somebody will pass the record that past Aaron's, however on the way people will make a big deal about Aaron being passed even when he no longer holds the record.

I would not want Bonds on my team due to the steroid questions that surround him.\n\nI would not want Bonds on my team due to his attitude.\n\nI would not want Bonds on my team due to his age.\n\nI would not want Bonds on my team due to his recent performances.\n\nI would not want Bonds on my team due to his salary demands.\n\n\n*Kurt C - Bonds did cheat, he basically has admitted that the substances he thought were harmless, were probably the 'cream' and 'clear' i.e. steroids. \nThe question is whether he knowingly used them, which he says he would never do. And honestly for signing Bonds, it makes no difference, it is a distraction the team can do without.*

I have yet to watch it. I belive he is trying to repair his image in the public eye. It is a total pr scam. Barry bonds dosen't even want to break the record he only wants to beat the white mans record.

At last report, Sammy Sosa turned down a non-guaranteed contract offer from the Washington Nationals during this off-season. \n\nWith the recent revelations about the use of HGH (human growth hormone) from Jason Grimsley, it's unlikely that Sosa, one of the most prominent players said to be tied to baseball's steroids scandal (and one of the players who testified before the House committee investigating the problem) will be receiving any calls from major league front offices any time soon.\n\nOn the other hand, if you want to know what Sammy Sosa is doing RIGHT NOW, he was courtside at the American Airlines Arena in Miami last night (or tonight, however you prefer to think of it) for game 4 between the Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks.

Man give the guy a break.\nYes he did take steroids, but steroids arent gonna help you with how you swing the bat!\n\nAnd no, I'm not a Bonds or Giants fan, I'm just tired of everyone jumping on the guy and saying how he doesent deserve the record and blah blah blah.\n\nRecords are meant to be broken.

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.

easily one of the greatest of all-time, the guy won 3 or 4 MVP's before any steroid speculation.  even if he did do steroids, baseball players have been taking them forever and none of them have even approached what Barry is doing, not even close.  mcgwire, sosa, a couple of good years, but nothing even close.  then, you also have the fact that there have been cheats throughout the years, the spitballers.  or the fact that when babe was playing, he wasn't playing against the best players because of the segregation between MLB and the negro league, whose to say there wasn't a barry bonds in the negro leagues.

Also don't forget that Babe Ruth was an all-star pitcher for the first 2 or 3 years of his baseball career, so bonds hasn't matched anything in my mind.  If he can go out and win 20 games in the next 2 or 3 years pitching the baseball then he may have matched the record. Even at that he is a steroid using cheater.

No, he is not.  Did you see how poorly he did this season when they were testing for steroids.  I think that he stopped using them this season so he would not get in trouble.  If you use steroids, why do you deserve to be on the all time homerun list? Plus, there's the whole cork in the bat incident.  He had to cheat to get his homeruns.

For those of you who think that Barry Bonds is good for baseball keep in mind that he is a selfish jerk who only wants to break records and win a world series only so that he can finally claim that he is the best ever. And he accomplished all of this by taking steriods. Not only does he cheat, but he is an asshole as well. Why do you think Jeff Kent got out of SF? Kent won an MVP, Bonds was pissed about that and that Kent would stand up to Bonds when he would do outrageous stuff on a daily basis. Such as tell Dusty Baker that he wasn't going to play. If he ever passes Aaron, it will be a dark day in baseball history.
