He has already admitted to using steriods because he did not sue the SF Chonocles writers for slander or libel in their tell-all book about him.
But baseball has no real commissioner (Bud Selig is and always will be an owner) so there has been no true oversight in the game since 1992, when then-commissioner was given the boot by owners. Selig doesn't have the balls or the integrity to make that kind of decision. He refuses to comment on it to this day, and I'm sure that won't change.
BTW: Bonds has written his own book - how to cheat the system by white-creaming his way to a huge collection of tainted home runs.
He is a fake, a fraud, and major league baseball fans should file a class action lawsuit against him and other steroid freaks for being imposters instead of legitimate major league and thus defrauding the unsuspecting ticket-buying public of a legitimate athletic competition.
And until baseball starts blood testing for HGH (they only do urine samples presently), all players are suspects and not to be trusted - including guys like A-Rod.
Again, the so-called commissioner Bud Selig has absolutely no balls and won't comment on the fact that Bonds cheated.
AND A BIG FAT "NO" TO THE HALL OF FAME, where true athletic accomplishment is rewarded, not those who defraud their way to million-dollar contracts and step all of the integrity of the game in the process. The fact that Mark McGwire got little HOF support on his first ballot shows that the voters will not be defrauded as well, by Bonds or any other cheater.

The answer, even though you probably don't want to hear it, is no. Since he has yet to test positive, all home runs hit so far are legal. Should he one day test positive and after his return from suspension, he hit another home run it will still be counted towards his total unless someone can prove the home run(s) where hit because of steroid use i.e; he started taking the drug on Wednesday so Thursday homer shouldn't count. The same thing happen to Rafe and every hit after his return from suspension is still counted in his hit total past 3,000. I understand where a lot of people are coming from but nobody deserves trial by media. Not even Barry. It really is sad how far we have come with this issue, after all, he is innocent until proven guilty.

Why should it be? Can some tell me exactly how steroids can make you hit a baseball more consistent? How it can make you see the baseball better so your batting average can be over .300. Or how it can give you better reaction time, or give you better bat speed? How does steroids give you longevity? It does not. Steroids is not the fountain of youth. It only makes you stronger the quickest way possible.
Face it nowadays all athletes are stronger, quicker, and all around better than the athletes from the past. Its part of human evolution. Humans are evolving and becoming better generation to generation. Bonds record will be broken, and then the on after that and so on.
Bonds is 43 and still playing baseball, and is still a solid hitter, he is not the +.300 hitter he was at one time but he is still good. How many players last that long? Not many. Most players lose a lot of there talent in there mid to upper 30's. So until someone breaks his record he should hold it until. He is a rare athlete, who's skills and talent lasted longer than most.

I hope so. Cheaters should not get glory. Anyone found guilty of steroid use should be kicked out of baseball for life and not allowed in the hall of fame. They did it to the Black Sox for throwing the 1919 World Series. They did it to Pete Rose for his gambling. They should do it to steroid using cheaters. Let the honest players get the glory millions have dreamed of getting.

I seriously doubt it.
They caught Pete Rose red-handed betting on ball games and kicked him out of baseball and the Hall of Fame. They did nothing to his numbers though. If you go to Cooperstown you will see exhibits honoring the on-field accomplishments of Pete.
Nothing has been done to Jason Giambi's totals or awards either.

The results and stats of the 1919 World Series have never been revised.

His totals will stand (goddammit!), but he will be crucified in the court of public opinion, and his fellow players will think little or nothing of him. The record is worth the general consensus of the world; being found guilty would make the record--in his possession--worthless. It is to most right now, anyway. . . .

It should. That record belongs to Hank Aaron. I think I would stop watching baseball, if they let him keep the title. That is one way to tell future baseball players it is okay to use steroids. I think that is one promotion I can deal without.

If they do then Palmeiro better be wiped from the books too...I know he didn't set any records, but he's on an awful lot of the all-time leaderboards still.
