I have mixed emotions on the topic of "enhanced medications". The obvious abuse of any such medication is an issue. If its a matter of recovering from an injury/illness, then we are all guilty.
I have followed Barry Bonds career for many years. Each and every time I watch him play, he does something special.
No matter what media hype or issues are with the Commissioners office, it seems to me that if there was evidence of abuse, he would not be playing.
I feel he may have been subject to the suspicions of others who may not have faired so well in the sport who did abuse those remedies.
He is a player who deserves a fair shake and a home in the Hall.

Who cares if he never tested positive for steroids? He has been tried and convicted in the media as well as the court of public opinion. It's a true shame that there are a lot of people out there that can't appreciate that one of the greatest players of all time is still playing the game. Rather than admire his accomplishments and appreciate what he has done, there are those who would rather banish him for what they assume he has done to achieve his level of greatness. It amazes me that a simple investigation could turn into a witch hunt so quickly. Nevertheless, Bonds has showed that he above the low life individuals who call themselves reporters, experts and fans, who could care less about the game of baseball. Of course Bonds belongs in the hall of fame. Has there ever been a more stupid question regarding baseball? Any person that would stop watching MLB because of their dislike for Bonds, is not a fan that baseball needs anyway.

Give the man a break! Modern science can prove if Bonds is guilty of using performance-enhancing drugs. Only accusations have been circulated to date. Bonds is not able to play at his full potential and is still in the game.
All things being equal, records are made to be broken and that is one of many aspects that attracts fans to any game. Let's enjoy this one and any that follow - AND - get back to enjoying the games.

Did anyone test Hank Aaron for steroids? I do not recall Barry Bonds testing positive for steroids or being adjudicated as a steriod user by any governing body, baseball or otherwise, or even punished by the League for steriod use.

Barry Bonds is an icon of our time. I wish him the very best because he desirves nothing less.signed R.FOSS
in 1994 i just started to watch baseball again. due to the fact i was in the army and couldn't watch it live. then comes the strike. well istopped watching the game til a couple yr's ago. and bonds should be kicked from the game.for his use of steriods. and don't even think about putting him in the hall of fame. i'd probably stop watching the game for good. don't do that to me . the wife and i enjoy it. we don't like bond's.
