Everyone hates Barry becasue he is that damn good. ANy supplements doesn't help you hit a baseball, that is all skill. The ignorance in the world today is really quite funny. He has 2500 less at bats that Hank Aaron, and all those years of walks. If he had the opportunity Hank did, you would be saying Hank who? Haters go home!

Well I'm not a fan of his, but that is mostly because his lack of hustle. That being said, I will give him a tip of the cap for the accomplishment. There aren't many players who are still productive at his age. As far as the alleged drug use, the way I see it is this:
A major league hitter has, at most, a half second to deduce
A. What type of pitch is coming.
B. The speed of the pitch.
C. Where the pitch will cross the plate.
D. Should I swing or not.
He then has to execute a swing that will bring the sweet spot of his bat (about a 3-4 inch area) in contact with the ball (around 2 inches high) in the precise spot, at a good enough angle, and with enough power to propel it over the fence.
As far as I know the steroids just make you stronger, not necessarily quicker, and most definitely not any smarter, so it still takes a lot of talent and coordination to hit that many homers. This era of baseball (1980's-present) will also always be known as the "steroid era". That will take a lot of the glamour away from the record.

john h : here's your proof
His trainer, Greg Anderson, charged in the BALCO scandal admitted on a secret recording provided to the San Francisco Chronicle that Barry Bonds was using an illegal steroid.
Greg Anderson also said the reason why Bonds never failed a steroid test was because the steroid he was using was untraceable and also that Bonds was tipped off at least two weeks in advance.
Steve Hoskins, Bonds former best friend told investigators that Bonds used steroids and would periodically go into "roid rages."
Bonds himself admitted to using a substance called "the clear" that he believed was not a steroid.
Patrick Arnold, the inventor of "the clear" says that Bonds knew he was taking an illegal steroid.
Equipment managers for the San Francisco Giants have said that his helmet size has changed over the years.
Kimberly Bell, Bonds former mistress says that Bonds told her that he used steroids and that she also noted the affects the illegal drug had on him physically.
In the book Game of Shadows, Bonds is to allegedly having started to take steroids after he saw the publicity that McGwire was getting after his home run chase in 1998. Bonds long suspected that McGwire used steroids and was outraged at the publicity he was receiving.

With and without the use of steriods he still had to hit them out. The record is his but I respects Hanks 755 more.
That's the best way I can put it.

As a person, he's an ##$#$. As a player though, he truly is great. I'm very happy to have witnessed him break the record. As for his cheating well, he's certainly not the only one who's taken steroids and no one else can do what he can so all the haters can just shut up.

I think it's great for the sport. I'm glad I got to be a part of it, and I'm also glad I'll get to be a part of watching A-Rod slaughter this record.
