From what I understand, it was tested for, but it was no secret as to when they tested...beginning of year I beleive.

And I can't imagine he's the only player to use steroids.

Again, not the point. If Giambi was going for the record, I'd say the same thing. We all know he's not the only player to do roids...he's the only one that is going after a covetted record, and a record that is likely the biggest in all of baseball, and could be argued the biggest in all of sports.

And how is what he did necessarily worse than scuffing a ball, or even stealing signs? If someone like Gaylord Perry can be in the HOF, then so can Bonds.

Canseco is not going to the hall because he took roids, and he hit 462 homers, and stole 200 bases...do you know how many people have done that in history? Why not allow him in when he was the first 40/40 player? He is a 6 time all star, a ROY and an MVP, a 4 time silver slugger award winner too. You can't compare scuffing the ball occasionally to taking steroids...or stealing signs...especially since stealing signs is NOT against the MLB rules.
McGwire and Palmiero likely won't make it either due to suspected steroid use. Even though McGwire admitted to taking Andro (which was a legal MLB substance at the time he took it).
