Report: Barry Bonds took steroids
Breaking news from the SF Chronicle: San Francisco Giants superstar slugger Barry Bonds, as well as New York Yankees Jason Giambi and Gary Sheffield, received steroids from a Burlingame, Calif., lab via Bond's weight trainer, federal investigators were told. In addition, Bonds was said to have received human growth hormone, a powerful substance that legally cannot be distributed without a prescription, investigators were told.
Bonds, baseball's single-season home-run king, and Giambi and Sheffield have all publicly denied using steroids.
This news will rock the baseball world and surely tarnish the legacy of Bonds, who is two home runs shy of tying his godfather Willie Mays for third on the all-time homers list.

You have to wonder what the Babe or the Mick could have done with the artificial assistance Bonds...Barry Bonds has had. It is not big deal to me, but I would have to say there will always be an asterisk on the home runs of Bonds, MacGwyre, and Sosa in MY record book.
