Disgusted with Bonds?

Exactly the point I was trying to make. The problem is baseball turning a blind eye to the steroid problem until it was too late. Exacerbating the problem, as I said earlier, is the fact that Bonds is generally considered an ass. If he was some fun-loving, jovial guy I'm sure most people would look at this differently.

SO maybe the problem is the guy who makes the steroids...or the guy that sells it...or the cops for allowing it to take place on their streets. It's not the responsibility of the individual for taking it. Blame everyone else, not the person that is ACTUALLY doing it. That makes sense.
