Well, I think the problem is that Andro, while the FDA is cracking down on it now, wasn't illegal back when McGwire broke the single season record. And Bonds I believe has admitted to using human growth hormones, which may or may not contain steroids. But let's say they ban those substances now. They weren't illegal when the records were broken so I don't think you can go back and change the records. Would you change Ruth's records because no Blacks or Latins were allowed to play in the majors then, or are Mays' records tainted because the Polo Grounds was less than 280 to the left field foul pole, and 260 to right? Besides, just because you're big doesn't necessarily give you the hand-eye coordination, or bat speed to hit over 650 home runs in your career as Bonds had.

All that being said, something needs to be done. I'm a huge baseball fan and I'm not naive to the fact that there is a prevailing sense of overall guilt by the court of public opinion, perhaps the most important court of all. Until, the fans can begin to trust the players, baseball will continue to be a second rate sport
