I dont care what people say about him but thats an accomplishment in itself. Whether he used steroids or not.

Who cares...i think way too much is being made of performance enhancing drugs. How many professional athletes do u think take andro or steroids or other professional enhancements? Im sure Barry Bonds isnt the only one in baseball or in any other major sports thats taking these supplements. U guys love the so beloved Hank Aaron, but u guys probably didnt know that he went under the same scrutiny that Bonds is goin under now because of his skin color.

Congrats Bonds.

Did you just compare skin color to performance enhancing drugs? Discrimination isn't exactly the same as using illegal drugs.

My point is that there will always be haters when somebodys close to breaking major records . Roger Maris went through it. Hank Aaron went through it (because of his skin color in a racist time period). McGwire went through it and now Bonds went through it; hell some people didnt want Emmit Smith to break Payton's all time rushing record. If performance enhancing drugs made such a difference, how come McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro isnt up there with Bonds and Hank Aaron? Fact of the matter is that you still have to hit the ball which takes skill in itself. The fact that Bonds is the home run king and is also ranked up there as one of the most walked batters is a feat in itself. To have 756 home runs and to be intentionally walked as many times as he has is truely incredible.

Obviously it will aid in most other sports like football but i dont see how it aids in baseball. Sports like wrestling, football and other physically demanding sports, i can see how that would be cheating, but in a sport like baseball where the bat does all the work, i just dont see it and i dont buy into that increased bat speed bit either. Everybody will have their own seperate point of views on this but thats just mine.

if it doesnt aid in baseball, then why did he use it......most people dont use steroids for no reason. body builders use it to get buffer for competitions, athletes use it to perform better. bonds is an athlete.

it wasnt like he just went "oh hai guise i wan teh get buff0rz for no reeson"

it was more like "dam, what can i do to hit this ball harder and farther"

I dont know why they do it because power hitters in baseball get al their power from their hips and lower body. not so much from their upper body. Just like in golf. So when i hear "steroids helps increase their bat speed to hit the ball further" thats a load of crap. Thats why when you see golf distance competitions, all the competitors are overweight men much like John Daly. I also dont believe that a corked bat will make a ball travel further. I just dont buy into that either. People look at Bonds body his rookie year and what his body looks like now...the dudes been playing baseball for 2 decades. Do i think that he used enhancers? most likely but that shouldnt take away from what he's accomplished.

Performance enhancers in my opinon just doesnt make that much of an impact in a sport like golf and baseball. Thats just what i believe.
