This is for all of you who have constantly bashed Barry Bonds over the years for allegedly using steroids. Here is the time now where you can prove that he wasn't being bashed because of his race (which I believe has a LOT to do with it). I have heard people try to defend Clemens by saying "well he never tested positive". Neither did Bonds. They say that Bonds' record is tainted, if that's the case, so are the 350+ wins of the "Rocket". Over half of the New York Yankees who played on the team that won four titles in five years were in the report. Then taint their World Series and asterik all their stats. If you are going to bash Bonds, bash Clemens because there is the same amount of tangible proof that they did steroids, which is next to none. If you don't attack Clemens as you did Bonds, then you make me believe what I thought all along was true, which is Barry Bonds was bashed not just for his steroid use, but also because of his race. SOMEBODY PROVE ME WRONG!

We all know Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens,etc... Were all goin to the Hall Of Fame...

But should they after they were all accused of taking steroids, HGH or having them in there posession?

Should these guys go to the Hall of Fame?

If these guys go to the Hall of Fame, do you think we should let Pete Rose go? I do.

Here are the reasons I think Bonds came under much more fire than Clemens (I don't think it was about race, unlike what the sports writers are saying):

1. Bonds is an extremely difficult person who's nasty to teammates, sports writers & fans alike. People just don't like him and it's well-deserved. Clemens can be awnry, but nothing like Bonds.

2. Fans focus more on the ability of steroids and HGH to improve power. Home runs matter more than pitching performance.

3. Clemens didn't become better than when he was in his youth, he just re-captured his greatness. Bonds went from an excellent player to one of the few greatest hitters of all-time.

4. Bonds' body shape changed dramatically. Clemens had changes too, but not nearly as visible.

5. Bonds lied under oath. Of course, Clemens was never asked to testify, so this is kind of unfair.

I hope it's not about race. Like Bonds, Clemens is denying steroid use now -- They're both lying.

I don't blame Sportswriters for acting like steroids don't exist so they can keep their clubhouse access and pigging out on free food and getting the best seats to view sporting events. Typical Sportswriters are lousy writers,. But why all the expressed outrage with the Mitchell report? Are they too stupid to see athletes were a little bigger to growing to the size of a house couldn't be done by weightlifting alone?

Be nice to hear a reporter admit he saw steroid stuff going on, but he didn't report on it because he knew he had a cushy job and wanted to keep it, so he ignored it. Or are they TRULY STUPID????????

Im not a big MLB fan but i have been a fan of ken griffey jr., and since all this steriod stuff is coming out i wondered if there were any alligations of him useing steriods or something. I dont think he has (please correct me if i am wrong) and with that being said i remember when he was in the hunt that year with mcquire and sosa for the homerun record then he fell off. But now we all the story behind sosa and mcquire. My opionion of ken griffey jr. is that he was a great player and his career will be over shadowed by this steriod stuff.

We all know that steroids were taken. We even know a lot of the players that took them. Most of them have made fools out of themselves (Rafeal Palmeiro) by demanding they never took them before the evidence came out.

But am I the only one tired of the lies after we know that someone took them. Roger Clemens........stop....just stop. You are only coming off as a liar in addition to a cheater by continuing to deny what is already known. Your own trainer admitted to giving them to you......You've got cake on your face and are still denying eating any.....

So, what bothers you more, the steroids of the lies?

Why is the use of steroids in baseball in the news a lot, but not in other sports? We rarely hear of steroids use in the NFL or NBA. Is it because they have more stringent testing?

The Mitchell Report is making it look like the players are the ones at fault here. The only owners and GM's in the report are Sabean and McGowan. Bud Selig is coming out of this like he didnt use these guys to bring the game back and all owners and GM's are looking like the victims.

Selig should be fired.

Im listening to the radio station that FP Santangelo is on and he has admitted to taking performance enhancing drugs and has owned up to the report, however he is saying the report is not accurate in what he took exaclty and that there are alot more players that are not on this list. He has said that Ken Camaniti was right when at least half of baseball players have used PED's.

I tend to believe him since guys like Luis Gonzales, Mike Lowell, Javier Lopez, and Pudge Rodriguez didnt show up on this report. What do you thinK?

I wanted to know if his record should be stripped to sometime he was not on steroids or performance enhancers.

With the Mitchell Report out, the Players Union is pissed... and rightfully so. Most of the report was based on hearsay and the players have all been slandered... I'm not saying it's not deserved. Anyone else worried?

1. Both most likely used steroids.
2. Both were the best at their position and achieved many awards.
3. Both were not friendly to the media and not the most likeable people in general.
4. Both most likely lied about the use of steroids.
5. Difference - Clemens is white and Bonds is black.
