Before you do, read the following arguments. All innapropriate answers will be flagged.
While steroids are and were illegal, they were not against MLB rules until 2004, and therefore any steroids Bonds or any other MLB player used should not be counted against him. Would you like it if you were arrested at age 34 for that time you endulged in underage drinking at your best friend's high school graduation party? Barry Bonds' single season Home Run record is completely legal by MLB's own standards, and therefore is 100% legitimate. Even if because of that single record, he should be in the HOF.
Also, to single Barry Bonds out to send a message is borderline discrimination against anyone who would have success in a sport. According to most recent rumors, there are certainly hundreds, if not thousands, of players who have used Steroids in the MLB and who knows how many in other sport franchises and, if anything, Bonds was on a level playing field.
