Barry Bonds is a roidhead! No doubt about it! It has been proven he took the clear but thought it was something else. I rest my case!

 How could he not be? No one can hit that many and be "hitting" the juice.

 Oh yeah he was on steroids. How do you think he hit all those homers. The babe would not be likin' this very much!

 Yeah, he did. So?

 The tests are saying he did, but then again a lot of players have. They should just come clean and start over.

 True, the proof is in the pudding as according to the doctors and Urinalysis.

 I was talking to a friend of mine from Pittsburgh, PA the other day. He and I were discussing Barry Bonds and his former performance with the Pirates (before playing with San Francisco). It is interesting to compare the size differences from the past to the present... They're pretty extreme.

 Of course he did. I don't judge him, necessarily, except that he and many others of us might be wise to take a second look at what we do vs. What we SAY we do. And not that he isn't personally responsible for his actions, but instead of asking if Barry (scapegoat) Bonds is doing something, maybe a better debate would be why and how many others also do. I wonder how many people are able to resist the possibility and shameless dangling of $5mx+ dollar contracts--? The promise of wealth (even temporarily) is a powerful thing to someone who hasn't taken the time to really understand their own value system or principles...and who is discouraged from doing so for fear of trying to put a whole industry and its fans on notice. That's a lot of pressure, dontcha think? (Hey- I have known otherwise honest people to find a wallet in Las Vegas with $700 and no ID in it, and never try to return it to its rightful owner. That's a lot less than risking the pressure of a really powerful sports industry and sportfan public who make unrealistic demands at exhorbitant salaries...) Now understand that I don't justify a lack of principles and I don't justify unethical behavior, nor do I judge the person who finds themselves at that place, but I DO understand how it can happen. I say remember that talk is cheap, and in the end all that matters is what you really DO. Bonds' exposed weakness (like many other pro athletes) is like looking in the mirror. (Given the right incentive, what would YOU/each of us do?) and serves as a reminder that we are all vulnerable if we don't define and absolutely commit to a set of values that will guide us through the toughest situations. I say that goes for those in the stands, aswell as those on the field. I'll bet you feel the same way.
