And i was referring to his character, not his baseball playing abilities with or without chemical enhancements

Did you even read that article?

yeah the record is tainted
Yeah Bonds cheated
yeah they most likely helped
but I think regardless, despite how much I dislike him, the record would have been broken

Hes a great athlete none the less...70% of baseball players in the year of the strike bulked up using a form of performance drug. sosa, palmiero, brady anderson, giambi, mcgwire, etc...baseball fans lost interest, so they got the players to get bigger and hit more homers in hopes to bring fans back. so in 95, the ball was changed, players changed and fans came back. also, if you notice bonds' bat, its maple which the ball flys off if hit right, so put strength, agility, techonology and you get a natural hitter. is the record tainted? no...i havent seen bonds hit a weak homerun that barely cleared the wall. he got himself in shape with help, so what...many substances werent banned in that time so its not all bonds' fault. accept the fact theres a new home run king and move on...arod will pass hime and he will be scruntinized as well.

I love maple bats lol. But yeah did anyone fail to notice that Bonds hat size went up 2 full sizes over 2 seasons?? That kinda bothers me. I mean I've heard of growth spurts but dang!!!
