Barry Bonds?

Question

Saw that he was indicted. Do you feel he should keep the homerun record or be stripped of it?

Answer 1

He can't be stripped of it. The records of all the players and games he was involved with would have to be altered. Besides, he's indicted for lying, not for cheating. The only punishment baseball can offer is not voting him into the Hall of Fame.

Answer 2

Unlike the others listed, Bonds took steroids when they weren't legal. He has tested positive, it came out in the indictment. The only thing he has said if he took them it was unknowingly. Thus putting the blame on his trainer. i find it kind of strange that the day the indictment was handed down, his trainer was released from jail. He isn't being indicted for steroid use, but for lieing under oath to the grand jury, and hindering the investigation. Maybe when this is over people will realize because of his big ego and jealousy, he let his career go down the tubes. What a waste of his talent just to get the homerun record. Well I guess everyone can quit wondering what team he will play for next season. As far as the homerun record, he doesn't deserve it.

Answer 3

Barry Bonds is the biggest horse's azz to ever walk onto a sports field. He will be one of the least missed athletes ever when he retires.

But everyone seems to forget that he is being charged with lying. Not drug dealing, not drug use, not cheating. He lied.

When he took steroids they were legal. McQuire took them, Sosa took them and heaven knows who else. He broke no MLB rule or state or federal law by taking 'roids. He also took no advantage to enhance his baseball skills that were not available to every other player.

Some athletes take extra batting practice and some stay out late drinking. Bonds chose drugs. Legal drugs.

Bonds is a marginal human being with no ethical standards, no moral compass and the character of rabid skunk. He's a liar, an adulterer, a coward, and a betrayer. But he hasn't done anything on the baseball field that should cause his records to receive any special annotation.

The only bad thing about him going into the hall of fame is that after 5 years we will have to look at his stupid scowling face again.

Answer 4

Baseball did not ban steroids until Sept. 30, 2002. Bonds, who has NEVER been identified by Major League Baseball as having tested positive for steroids, repeatedly denied knowingly taking any performance-enhancing drugs, testifying that Anderson had told him the clear and creamy substances he was using were flaxseed oil and a rubbing balm for arthritis.

Answer 5

With all the surgical advances in beauty and the performance enhancing drugs in sports, can we call this advancement? Natural atheletes broke and set records without any assitance. Most professional sports have become no different than the WWF......... SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT!

Answer 6

he should keep it. but a lot of people suggest putting a * on it. but i say, if you do that, then you might as well put a * on all the people in the hall of fame who cheated. guys like aaron used amphetamines, nolan ryan was obviously on something, many pitchers in the 60 and 70s scuffed baseballs and did things to gain an advantage. it would be impossible to keep track of who did what and when. thing is, everyone cheats, its human nature.
