id say at least 50 percent of mlb players are doing some kind of performance enhancing drugs...so it all evens out...clemens throws a balls faster to bonds...he can hit it further out the park....in the end its still an entertainment to the viewers...the different sports associations just need to come clean and admit that super human performances are not achieved with a normal human body

Absolutely. Every cheater, especially those who prosper as much as Clemens has, lessens the glory of the game. Those who think all ballplayers or 50% of players do steroids are sadly mistaken. I'd say about half the teams are totally clean or have one or two guys doing it illicitly, most of the rest barely tolerate a couple of guys doing it mostly covertly and only a couple of teams really allowing it in the clubhouse/ team arenas. Those teams and those players really need severe punishment. I'd say Clemens should be fined the amount of his salary for all the years he was a proven user.

I'm beginning to think that this steroid use is a lot more common than we realize. Do I care? Yes, because it puts sports on an unfair playing level, and it sends a bad message to young athletes who looked up to these sports figures. I am glad it is coming out in public so that it can be dealt with properly, and people will understand the consequence of humiliation regardless of the sports hero status.

Yes - I care because it may have assisted certain teams in winning championships at an unfair disadvantage to their opponent. ESPN showed what Clemens career was like - he was declining, then had an upswing. When traded to the NYY he was again in decline until the Yankees hired his personal trainer and then suddenly he becomes the Rocket of old again. The implication was that the Yankees themselves knew or had to have known. Then they showed before and after photos of some of these players and that alone speaks volumes.

I really don't care because steroids don't make a player better, they only enhance the skills you already have. If you are a star, then you will be superstart. In other words, Bonds and Clemens were HOF before steroids, after steroids they were the best at their positions. The only player that can be consider a HOF because of steroids is McGwire because he is a product of steroids.

It's sad to hear, it's a big tarnish to the shiny heroes fans have looked up to. They need to be responsible for this -- and baseball needs to clean up its act, this can't be allowed to continue.
Plus -- I can only imagine the pressure of these players, how they must compete with other pumped up players, how they must recover from injuries in a flash -- their careers depend on it.
If this were strictly regulated and (now's the time to make the statement this isn't tolerated in baseball any longer) players have to be routinely tested more efficiently, then hopefully they'd be able to clean house and let the players all play fair and square. Bring it back to our country's fave game.

No, no way. Roger Federer is the Mr. superb guy who continually wins, he's likewise pronounced as because of the fact the Swiss that would not omit. in case you like to discover the final tennis participant in terms of ethics, habit and gestures then look at Federer. he's no longer annoying too, he's no longer asking favouritism being variety one interior the international. someone like Federer that has plenty admire from acquaintances and foes would not deserve a number of those craps. Please supply up it.

Yes, I care! By using steroids he puts himself above all the other players with a major competitive edge. Where would he be without steroids? He would be in the same spot as other players...average! By using steroids it shows that he does not have the ability in himself to compete at the level of MLB!

I've always suspected him. I hated him before, now I hate him even more. He'll go to the Hall, but he won't be so smug and arrogant. By the way, if he's innocent, why hasn't he sued the guy that named him? That would be first on my list, telling everybody that I was suing and doing it immediately!

I care.
He was fading when the Sox traded him to Toronto. He finds steroids and rejuvenates his career. He's a phony.
