Since Barry Bonds has never tested positive for steroid use,  should we believe his ex-girlfriend claims?

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.

Considering he's played with the O's, Diamondbacks and Royals lately I'd say most of those names come from those rosters. Palmiero is one that jumps up right away. Curt Schilling is a possibility even though he was gone before Grimsley got to Arizona. Many of the players are likely to be journeymen like himself. However there may be some stars. Grimsley was teamates with players like Beltran and Sweeney.  Sidney Ponson might be another name to pop up.  Barry Bonds apparently has been linked to HG drugs before and it appeared the feds wanted Grimsley to get Bonds for them. So there is a strong chance that Bonds a known steroids user will be scooped up in this. Other steroid users like Sosa and Giambi might be on the list as well. In fact I'd be really surprised if Sosa doesn't turn up in this scandal. He used corked bats, steroids and every other method of cheating, why not the HG formulas?

It died off for a while, then the book "Game of Shadows" came out. The authors said they could prove that Bonds was given, and used steriods. The authors are now going to testify proving, as they say, Bonds used steriods.

If it is proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that Barry Bonds was on steroids during his career, his records should not have an asterisk beside it...it should be erased from all record books.  And that goes for any baseball player who was on steroids during their career.  And the Commissioner's stance on punishing Pete Rose is getting flimsier with each passing day.  Less than 5 years after the Commisioner resigns, is kicked out or replaced, no one will be able to recall his name,  but baseball fans will forever remember Pete Rose as the best hitter of all time.

I dont think he uses steroids.And i love watching him play he   is by far the greatest baseball to ever play so everyone should embrace the fact that we are fortunate enough to watch him play. Enjoy it while you can because he wont be around much longer

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.

Well, I'll put it this way. The legends of the game have had cold streaks way longer than 4 days. I wouldn't be suprised if he doesn't hit 714 until tuesday. Bonds is not a legend, and due to the fact that the footnote attached to his asterix on homeruns will cut off half the page, it really doesn't matter if and when he passes Ruth and Aaron. You ever hit a homerun? It's tough, and no one wants to be the guy who let Bonds tie Ruth.

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.

Barry Bonds would not still be playing if he had not taken performance enhancers.  Yes, he is a great home run hitter, but no one, NO ONE, has ever doubled their home run-to-at-bat ratio at the age of 39 or 40.  Why?\n\nAdvancing age decreases home run output for everyone.  UNLESS you are elongating your career with performance enhancers.  In short, Barry Bonds is cheating every single player who ever played straight.\n\nFrom 2000-2005, Barry Bonds should have half the home runs he hit nullified.  These are the dates that he is documented as having been taking performance enhancing drugs.  These are the dates his home run-to-at-bat ratio doubled.\n\nBaseball needs to take action on this for the integrity of the game, and for the honor of every Major League player who did not enhance their skills with some kind of substance.  The fans deserve to know that their favorite players can be looked up to for the skills they were born with.  Not for trying to beat the system, and us, for the sake of more money.\n\nBarry Bonds is a great player, and he is also a selfish, delusional, misguided sociopath who thinks the rules don't apply to him.  That is a great message to send to our kids.\n\nHis punishment will send a message that sportsmanship is not dead.  Even though there is trash talking, fights, and huge egos, a line has to be drawn at performance enhancing substances.  You and I can't get away with it, so why should our athletes.

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...

First off, to the guy above me - try spelling "title" right before you type something.\n\nSecond, I have to say that I agree with the allegations that he did use steroids.

Not no but HELL NO!  He doesn't want his record to be taken from him.  Even though 99.99% of people know he's guilty.  He wants to go down as one of the greatest baseball players in history; even if he did cheat his way into the record books and the Hall of Fame.  But now that he's quit for the new testing "laws" that have been put into effect he's a worthless player, 1 HR and a .222 AVG.  See what happens when the juice wears off Barry?  Plus his body is starting to fall apart.  Now that he doesn't have the juice to repair his body parts his knee is falling apart. He's a JOKE, and will never admit to using steroids.  Remember the phony story about his "accidental" use?  How the hell do you accidentally stick yourself in the ass with a needle?  Must have slipped and fell!

Everyone knows that Barry Bonds uses steroids.  And the concept of accidentally using steroids, does anyone really believe that?  That's like accidentally smoking crack!  Bonds case should be looked at a little more carefully than it is.  Major League Baseball isn't even really paying attention to the claims of his use.  I think the main reason for this is because he broke the single season HR record, and how would they handle that situation?  They couldn't just take them away there would be too much criticism over that one.  But, he should be fines, suspended, and investigated more thoroughly.  My main question is where was he when they had Sosa, Palmeiro, Schilling, Thomas, and McGwire?

No Bonds uses steroids

If I may use some medical terminology, Bonds's cheating was chronic - that is, it was such that every time he took the field he was cheating because of what his did off-field, and it could not be detected by the umpires.  In Perry's case, it was an acute cheating - that is, the cheating only occurred on certain pitches and plays, and could easily be detected by any umpire who checked.
