At this point the whole issue is tired. The weight of the circumstantial evidence makes me think BB probably used steroids, but until someone can prove it in a court of law, the man is due respect for the record. The media's whining and "hating," is a latent manifestation of their dislike for the way Bonds reportedly treats most of them.

I appreciated Hank Aaron's stance. I don't think he believes BB got there cleanly, but he took the high road and didn't throw BB "under the bus." His scoreboard tribute when Bonds hit 756 was classy.

and if you think this over, just wait. Already, you're heard speculation about steroids in golf. ....Tiger Woods? Although not nearly as surly as Bonds is reported to be, he doensn't let the media "in" to his personal life. In the absence of access, the media will speculate. As he nears the majors record, we'll likely, sadly, be revisiting this issue.
