He is most likely guilty. You take people with one talent, the ability to play a sport, offer them more money that any human is worth and they will do what ever is necessary to keep it. If he couldn’t play baseball how would he make a living?
Put Bonds in jail now and it might help save some young athletes just getting started from the same problems.

BUSTED!! I guess the asterik should stay on his home run record.
Now that Barry is unemployed and facing federal charges, I'd be very surprise if any other team even wants to touch him.
Does the U.S. have an extridition treaty with Japan? May be Barry can play over there?

The accountability falls primarily on the MLB for allowing stuff to go on for so many years unchecked. Barry is just a product of a system that has historically encouraged and rewarded young athletes for using performance enhancing drugs.

Who cares???? How about the people who can think back to the days where we as kids played for the love of the game. When we used to watch our favorite players who did things the right way....with hard work and honesty. When self centered a#@$#holes like Barry were not viewed as Gods for playing a game for the love of money.

pco, you are seriously delusional if you think the MLB was any different back in your day.

I have to agree with Tom. The MLB is allowing this stuff to go on. Of course, they should have taken care of it before Barry broke the HR record.

Baseball should follow in the footsteps of Track and Field. Take away the records and winnings like they did to Marion Jones. Maybe players would smarten up and realize that enhancement drugs are just not worth it. The money will still be out there for "real" players even if they can't break records every single season!
