Barry Bonds is a great baseball player who probably did not need performance enhancing drugs to begin with.

And it is too bad those kinds of drugs are made so readily available to players who lack that tiny bit of security needed to totally believe in themselves and their natural abilities without having to pump up and become ''super'' size. It is also a sad thing that the human ego is so fragile in so many of us, but that is our nature sometimes.

And it is awful there are greedy ''doctors'' and dealers out there just waiting to push and manipulate an insecure person into using those kinds of drugs. I do hope the person responsible for pushing them is also punished just as harshly, as they dang well should be as this is probably an extremely profitable ''business'' for the dealers and/or doctors because of whom they prey upon.

But Barry, apparently you made the choice to use them in the first place, but no matter the outcome I wish you well and it has always been a pleasure to watch you play... even though I am a lifelong dyed blue DODGERS fan! :)

Why is so much money being wasted in pursuit of something that I for one find unimportant. Baseball is entertainment who cares what those who play do to themselves. It is not important in the greater scheme of life. If Barry Bonds or others wish to use steroids, so what.

"That will be fair to the ones that played honestly, and to Bonds as well."

The problem is that none of them played any more "honestly" than Bonds.

"Pat Robertson claims on his web site that through training and his "Age-Defying energy shake", he is able to leg press 2,000 pounds..." [Wikipedia]

I cannot be persuaded that Pat Robertson is five times as strong as Madeleine Albright.

[Robertson is 76, Albright a mere 70]

Depends what the incline angle is, but then you would have to ask, what is IS?

This is no big deal. Bonds always deserved an asterisk near any mention of his leadership in home runs. If he is found guilty, either he deserves double-asterisks or a full explanation to the effect that his numbers are owed to chemistry as opposed to natural numbers achieved by others in the Hall of Fame. That will be fair to the ones that played honestly, and to Bonds as well.

Of course, as I said earlier, we can all go back to Limbaugh and remember the little pat on the hand he got for doctor shopping. He made a big deal about his DOCTORS being interviewed and that it was a violation of his rights. Apparently, that didn''t stop them from violating Bond''s rights now did it? I knew the hate monger would get away with it, because, well, he is white and rich, and a political favorite. If only he had been some poor white trash then just maybe they would not have thought twice about interviewing all those doctors prescribing illegal medications for him. I love the hypocrisy of our system.
