If they didn't have proof, there is no reason for punitive action.

 Before Barry Bonds even thought about hitting home runs early in his career he was just like Ichiro. He was young Skinny and fast. He was a base stealer. If you watched him grow throughout they years you would know that he took steroids. He went from a fast base stealer with no home runs to the home run king? Come on get real. Barry Bonds is a CHEATER and that's that

 I am definitely against athletes using performance enhancing drugs, and there is most certainly a cloud hanging over Bonds, but there doesn't seem to be any definitive proof that he used steroids. The suspicions are strong, and frankly I can't say I believe he achieved the record without "help". Unless it can be shown beyond a doubt that he used drugs, the record should stand.

 However, the modern judgments of today ARE NOT proportional to the rules of the past, in any sense of the word! So their are many things I would question and hold the Drug thing as a hole card!
I'm in to Physics and Math, and for an answer to be totally correct it must be proved to be inversely proportional first!
