Actually, nobody has denied that he has taken steroids. Not even Barry Bonds.
What he said (under oath) was that he didn't know that the chemicals he was using were steroids and against the rules. He never said he DIDN'T use them. Just that he didn't know.
IF he is telling the truth, then it was a temporary thing. A mistake that was cleared up. If he was lying about that, then he probably not only intentionally used it to skirt the rules, but did before and still is. We are talking about drugs specifically produced to be undetectable by tests... not over the counter stuff, ya know?
I've included a link to a news source if you want verification of all this. There may even be additional reasons to believe he is much more into this stuff than he's letting on. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Explain how a 42 yr old man at the end of his career is suddenly hitting more home runs in a season than he has EVER hit before. Yes you get better with more experience, but say... from the first time in the league to maybe the next 5,10-15 years. But not at the END of a career.
Also, it is not just about steroids. What about the HGH? Just because it is not banned does not mean that it is not cheating.
And explain the growth of his skull? Look at his head on his rookie card or a picture of him in a Pirates scorebook or yearbook. His head was tiny and he was a skinny runt. His head is HUGE now. Your skull does not grow like that without help.
Yes he does have skills, but he has also had help in the chemical department. Steroids make you stronger, which can then affect how hard you swing the bat. The harder you make contact the farther the ball will go when you hit the sweet spot.
To me, it has nothing to do with his race. It has to do with his cheating. Just because he has said he has not taken steroids, does not mean that he hasnt. Get your head out of the sand and get real. Look at it from both sides. The PHYSICAL evidence is there.
Besides, he is a total azz. He cheats on his wife with multiple women. None of his fellow teammates like him. He has his own place in the locker room with a big screen TV and other amenities. He has no concept of TEAM. He is all about Barry Bonds. He is a pig headed, egotistical, philandering cheater.
ALL HAIL BARRY BONDS!! Nope. Not gonna do it.

Well, take the racial quotient right out of your argument. The record he is breaking belongs to a black man. Barry Bonds did take steroids, the cream and the clear, but he claims he didn't know they were steroids. Major League Baseball does not test for Human Growth Hormone which is a commonly used performance enhancer. Also keep in mind that baseball's steroid policy is new. Bonds got a pass for many years.
You are correct that steroids do not help you with hand-eye coordination but, it does help you to add power. No players are making to the big leagues without displaying an outstanding ability to hit a baseball. All of the players at the major league level have excellent hand-eye coordination. But they don't all double their previous home-run numbers after the age of 40.
I think Bonds should be recognized for his records and accomplishments because there is no way we can ever flush out everyone who used 'roids during this era. But to claim he doesn't use performance enhancers is just plain gullibility.

The circumstantial evidense of steriod use is outstanding, yet there is no information of cheating. the finished MLB game enthusiasts might desire to have used steriods and lots greater of them did than maximum folk will ever get to hearken to approximately. Why? by using fact the an embarassed league likes the finished undesirable press approximately steroids being directed at one scapegoat. they do no longer want each and every man or woman speaking with regard to the region the finished a hundred MPH fastballs went or why so few game enthusiasts are hitting 30+ domicile runs now. in simple terms carry speaking approximately Bonds.

There *is* evidence he took steroids... including his own admission... and a man in jail refusing to testify of his part in all this.
Are you really incapable of looking at Barry's production and see something isn't normal? Do you need a judge to tell you that 40+ ballplayers NEVER increase their number of HRs? Or to tell you SF park is one of the hardest places to hit home runs since it is right by the ocean where the air is always dense? Or to tell you that hitting a ball to the warning track isn't much different than hitting one a few feet farther?
What were those words of Martin Luther King Jr.?
" I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. "
Did you catch what Dr. King said? People *should* be judged " by the content of their character. " If Barry is a cheater, we should speak out.
Believe it or not, there are people in this world that don't wear a robe or sit behind a bench who can think for themselves. They can look at a person's behavior and come to a conclusion you might disagree with. According to Dr. King they're not racists.
" But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. " -M.L. King Jr.
To accuse a stranger of being racist would be a "wrongful deed." ... unless you disagree with Dr. King. Do you?

Look at him when he was a pittsburg Pirate; he turned from 150 pounded leadoff man to a 300 pound cleanup hitter literaly overnight. They have pictures on the internet. Besides theres lots of human growth serums u can use that cant be detected right now. For all we know he could still be using steroids.
For people that hate him: Maybe its because he isnt exactly a media darling. He is known to cuss at reporters.

i believe he is on steroids (unknowingly) but that is only part of the reason he has 751. he still has an eye for great pitches, still has quick hands, and still can run and steal bases. thus, bonds should be allowed to keep his record, because even without his 700 hrs, if he finished his career with like 400, he would still be a hall of famer (stolen bases/defense/40-40)

Again. BALCO developed an undetectable steroid! UNDETECTABLE! That means every test comes up clean every time it is used. Bonds was heavily involved with people associated with this company. He received training supplies from the company. I put this together and came up with my opinion.
How dare you accuse me of being racist just because I believe that Bonds took steroids! You are an ignorant sheep who blindly follows the drama of others to seem important and relevant.

You cannot gain 40 pounds of lean muscle mass in one off-season without steroids. It is scientifically impossible. Bonds did it. There is more proof of Bonds' guilt than there is of O.J. Simpson's. Hell, even Marcia Clark and Chris Darden could convict Bonds of steroid use.

Ok everyone keeps saying look at him he's twice the size he was when he was with the Pirates. Ok fine the you gotta say look at A-Rod he's twice the size when he started out heads bigger body's bigger he hits home runs hmmm Pujols same thing. Then you can say the age thing well look at Clemens 40 something still throwing 90 plus maddox just cause their not bigger doesn't mean they havent took anything. But everyones trying to bust ol Barry I'm not a Bonds fan but everyone needs to just enjoy what he has accomplish an shut the hell up. Just cause a guys an ****** doesn't mean anything.
