Is it just me or did his long absence seem like a possible delay for the steriods in his system to clear out before he could go back on the active roster again? After all, this is the only guy who has actually admitted taking steroids at this point (not that he is the only one, but he is the only confession thus far). Of course, he had no way of knowing that the things being injected into him and the cream he was rubbing on his skin were anything but vitamins since he managed to turn from a 30-40 home run a year hitter into a 73 homer slugfest. Miraculous.

And even without the steriods, he was one of the best players of all time.

Players on the DL are still subject to testing, and I think Bonds was tested back in May. But like I said, not all steroids are detectable.

Gary Sheffield has also "admitted" to taking steroids in the same way Bonds has.

Bonds is subject to testing even while on the Disabled List, and he was tested earlier this season and came back clean.

His status with the team made him subject to testing all year long. He was tested once and came up clean.
