If baseball wants to maintain any integrity whatsoever, the records of these people need to be purged from the books. Baseball should go back to Roger Maris - 61, with no asterisk. Justice for the fans finally, the fans who respected the game.

Sad for the game.

Perhaps. Then again, I'd like our athletes to take more steroids. Let them get freaky huge (as if they aren't already). It might bake for better entertainment (I admit it, some comedian had a routine on this). Plus, as a bonus, we get to let them serve as guinnea pigs for all the new things companies like BALCO comes up with, before choosing to use anything ourselves. Speeds up the testing process.

Why is the government wasting so much time on this? Why is it the government's business if Barry Bonds wants to inject Human Growth Hormone, or THG or any other steroid for that matter? If a sports organization wants to ban performanance enhancing drugs as a rule for participation, so be it. But why does the government care, and why should anybody go to jail over a personal health decision?

Sheffield's attorney Paula Canny said, "Gary Sheffield has never knowingly ingested a steroid ... and Gary Sheffield has never knowingly applied an anabolic steroid cream to his body."

How Clintonesque. Here Mr. Sheffield have this gatorade, you do not need to know what is in it. This reminds me of the time when Ben Johnson was stripped of his gold medal and he said he was given spiked gatorade that made him test positive for steroids.

Selig said in a statement. "We will do everything in our power to get to zero tolerance as soon as possible."

This is the same baseball mgt. leadership that watched people over 30 gain 45 pounds of solid muscle and go from hitting 20 homers to 60 and never said a word. What a joke.. soon as possible. This could have been stopped a long time ago...

Seriously, kids, why else do you think a grown man's skull would begin to get bigger. Must have been taking some nasty stuff.

I'm still not convinced that Bonds ever took steroids...

       

I mean, so what if he was a 6-1, 185 lb rookie who grew into a 240 lber with a sagittal crest?
