But Bonds' career is over. He's been a dicey commodity ever since his testimony to the grand jury investigating BALCO was leaked and others talked about his use of steroids and human growth hormone. Now, with a federal indictment hanging over his head, he's poison.

    I don't have much use for professional sports anyway. Mr. Bonds is just one of the reasons. Anyone caught taking performance enhancing drugs (in sports) should be banned for life. What kind of image does this send to the young kids out there just beginning to participate in sports? Success in the sporting arena should be because of dedication and hard work, not drugs! Besides pro sports is a business and I certainly don't enjoy watching a business operate. Even college sports has its drawbacks but I enjoy watching it far more than the pros.

      not so fast Tech an indictment does not always mean your washed up in sports.

      a conviction would be a different story however. (let us pray)

      either way we reap what we sow now reap the whirlwind cheater.

      The wheels of justice do grind excrutiatingly slowly. Me thinks that the prosecutors put off the indictment until after he "broke the record" in order to not be accused of impeding his quest. When i was playing football in HS and I missed a block or a tackle (we went both ways back then) coach would describe me as "lower than 10 tons of whale s__t at the bottom of the ocean." Mr Bonds occupies that location in my estimation. He is the Ultimate I AM NOT A ROLE MODEL. What really bothers me is the number of apologists that refuse to accept the apperent truth. But Micheal Jackson still has fans, so go figure. Let the congregation say AMEN!

        I only wish baseball could and would strip him of his home run record. He does not deserve to be on the same page as Hank Aaron or Babe Ruth. How many more home runs would Aaron have hit had he taken the illegal steriods?

        In any sport, if a record is broken or set due to intentional cheating, there's no way that record should stand.

          I agree about stripping away his record. Cheating is cheating. He was a hall-of-fame player and didn't need to take steroids to perform. But his desire to be called the best was the catalyst for steriod use.

          At age 44 and with a myriad of injuries, it is doubtful that Bonds can play productively next year regardless. Outside of San Francisco, Bonds wasn't popular even before the indictment. If the the Giants don't make him an offer - which looks unlikely - don't expect anyone else to, either.

          Bonds will eventually join Pete Rose as the only baseball player who holds major league records, but isn't in the Hall of Fame.

            As far as I'm concerned, Aaron still holds the record (until it is broken by someone doing it fairly) and Bonds will always have an asterisk next to his name.
