Diary: Bonds and Steroids

(moved from diaries. i think the comments on this thread so far are terrific. --Eric)

This topic has been on my mind since everybody and their mother has written an article on it, based on the allegations in the new book. In my opinion it?s overshadowed the WBC and spring training. I will defend Bonds on this level, although he did something that is both illegal and distasteful, the game as an entity failed to act against all the people who were also doping during that time. Penalizing him at this point because he's going to break the home run record is unfair. In my view, MLB created this situation by their inaction. I also can't help to think that Bonds is getting hit harder because he irritates so many in the media, who are now getting to take free shots him. I'm curious what everyone thinks.
