i'm getting tired of all this steroids stuff. doesnt ESPN have something else to do ?
[size=10]Manny Ramirez....$20 million
Pedro Martinez....$17.5 million
Curt Schilling...$12 million (and a $2 million bonus)
Never hearing a Yankee fan chant 1918 again...priceless. [/size]
Bonds is just the poster child for roids. If he gets a "one of those gunny things next to it" --Roger Maris-- then everyone should. I just did a report on Roids and back in 99, one out of every fifteen High Shcoolers took roids. That was 5 years ago, around the time of a High Schooler named Pujols (just saying).
Bonds is not the only guy who took roids (not proven yet, but I'm saying it for those on some websites who are willing to label somone gulity because of an internet picture ) so others (no dount in my mind that Pujols took them) will also have to have an *
Let's just pray that Bonds doesn't break Aaron's record. I don't want to explain to my kids that a cheater holds the most hallowed and sacred record in all sports.
Don't get me wrong, Barry is a great player. Probably the most talented hitter in the history of the game. But come on people, does that justify cheating? No. He would have been a hall of fame player with or without steroids. He didn't (and still doesn't) need them to perform at a superior level. That's why I have a problem with it. He is one of the most naturally gifted athletes the world has ever seen, but he still saw a need to cheat. Why?
(Yes, it's all circumstantial evidence, but come on people, anybody with half a brain can see that Bonds has taken steroids in his career. And if you don't see it, I've got a white Ford Bronco I'd like to sell you...)

You said the reason why we shouldn't blindly believe it in your post: It's all circumstancial.
I believe wrveres explains it best, so if he wants to I'll let him do it.

Then don't believe it. All I know is that Albert Pujols' name is being thrown around here by Bonds supporters. I don't remember Albert's name being linked to an illegal steroid lab (BALCO) or a trainer facing a federal indictment (Victor Conti). I don't remember Albert Pujols being sold out by his former trainer (Greg Anderson). Did Gary Sheffield say that he saw Albert Pujols taking steroids? I don't think he did.
The trail of evidence that Bonds has taken (at one time or another) illegal suppliments is way too long to ignore. Are there players other than Bonds that are on steroids? Of course. Is Bonds still on steroids? I have no idea. Has Barry Bonds taken steroids in his career at one point? I'm sure of it. Ignoring his grotesque physical appearance, there is so much evidence that is surrounding his implication, it is simply possible to ignore.
Your name doesn't get linked to BALCO, Conti, Sheffield and Anderson unless you've done something wrong. It's not a coincidence that Barry Bonds is mentioned in every steroid report and similar players like Albert Pujols and Manny Ramirez are not.

Selig said, cautioning that "these are merely allegations. I'm not ready to pass judgment."
Something's fishy.
I actually agree with Selig?
Just for the record, I do not know if Bonds has done steroids or not. Hopefully, sometime soon, there will be a difinitive answer one way or another.
Yes doctor, I am sick. Sick of those who are spineless. Sick of those who feel self-entitled. Sick of those who are hypocrites. Yes doctor, an army is forming. Yes doctor, there will be a war. Yes doctor, there will be blood.....

Pujols has two options: he is not 24 (or 23) and he is 28+ or he took player inhancement drugs. No way a kid can be that big. Also, its not fair to say that Bonds supporters are throwing around names. I said it, so its supporter. You dont want wrveres getting upset do you ------------------
I dont think manny took any drugs, his body flow has been normal for the last 6 years. Pujols on the other hand... a walk on a few years ago with little backround and NO ROIDS TESTS
