There should be a Asterisk next too his name when he beats the HR record. Just like they did to Maris but Maris did not Deserve it like Bonds does.

I don't think it's a big deal.
Amphetamines weren't illegal in baseball until last season, so tons of players got busted because they had supplements that still contained them from previous seasons.
At the same time players have been taking amphetamines (commonly called "greenies") for over 50 years. Everyone from Mickey Mantle to Reggie Jackson to Barry Bonds has taken them. They are essentially over-glorified caffeine pills.
So I don't think it matters. Talk to me when he fails a test for steroids. Then you can call him a cheater.

Come talk to me when he gets popped for roids. Since he isn't going to be suspended because it is his first offense, this is really a non-factor in the scheme of things.

Just another example of his desire to cheat in order to get an unfair advantage over his peers.

Screw him. Let him do whatever it is that he's gonna do and let him retire. You can't read or watch something about sports without hearing about him or T.O. They turn sports into Soap Operas.

IT OPENS THE DOOR FOR BONDS TO BE SUBJECT TO MORE DRUG TESTS AND INCREASES THE CHANCE FOR HIM TO GET CAUGHT.

It is crap that the results were leaked... it says no public leaking of 1st failed test. People need to lay off.

Not surprised, but it really doesn't matter, as players have been eating those things for years.
