I say yes.

Probably so -- he's been on the right path since about 1990!!!
Barry Bonds is an @$$, and it has nothing to do with skin color, all of you play-the-racist-trump-card whiners!!!

Bonds is too smart to ever test positive for drug use from this point going forward, and he never tested positive in the past. I don't believe MLB will ever be able to address this issue in any way. There is no question he will be the homerun king for some period of time and baseball fans everywhere will have an opinion about Bonds, and his career, and most will be negative. It will continue to be a huge issue until that point in time when A-Rod, or someone else, comes along and takes the homerun title from him. At that point in time I would expect that very little attention will be paid to Bonds because very few people care who is second. Bonds may have taken steroids, he is definitely a jerk, and many other players don't like him, and he will never get the recognition he deserves as being one of the best players to play the game.

1. It has not been proven yet that he has taken steroids...though I do not doubt he could have, it is still all speculation.
2. We would not be having this issue if he wasn't going for any records...but even still, what about all those other players who hit 500+HR who have done something illegal? Raffy with roids, Sosa with the corked bat.
3. Steroids have been around since the 1920s, whats to say no one back then took em? Everyone says the same thing, "oh they wouldn't have used them back then because they aren't the type of people to take them..." That's a load of bull because how would you know for sure? We don't and its too late to check.
4. Cheating has always been a part of baseball. You got the spitball, stealing signs, vasaline on the hand, cork in the bat. What about all those people who used all that stuff? Shouldn't they be subjected to eternal damnation too?
My answer is no. You can hate him you can say all the bad things you want. Records are meant to be broken, it doesn't specify how its done, who does it, or what needs to be done to do it.

Bonds never failed a drug test. Everything that is written about him is accusation brought on by a couple of reporter more interested in the story more then the truth. (why do you think they call them stories anyway.) To make matters worse, the book that was written to "confirm" the story was written by the same reporters that broke the story in the papers. This is the equivalent of a murder suspect confirming his own alibi. So if you find real proof that he's using let me know, until then, don't ask me to get swept up in this lynch mob mentally. In America, we're innocent until proven guilty. If you don't like that, there's always France.

Yes indeed. Even if proof of his use of steroids is never made, he will be forever "guilty" in the minds of many people.

Possibly, but cheating on his wife and being a surly @sshole clinches it.
