In my mind, I will not officially honor Barry "Big Head" Bonds' milestone. I think that cheating is cheating, regardless of whether or not there are rules in place defining cheating. A lot of pro sports have banned the use of steroids as well as other performance enhancing drugs. I believe that the athlete in question should have a fair trail and that there should be ample scientific proof with reasonable precautions taken to ensure that results are accurate and reproducible in a lab. Just read up on the latest regarding Floyd Landis and his questionable victory in the Tour de France last year. I want to believe Floyd is innocent, but since there is some question about the testing procedures, the doping allegations will never be answered fully. In short, the horse is out of the barn on Barry. He will most likely break the record and due to lack of testing and policy, never face any consequences. I do hope they give him the same treatment as Rose-no hall of fame for him. In the future, should a milestone in the MLB be broken, and there be any question about the legitimacy of it, there should be a governing body in place to validate or discredit it. Oh yah, FIRST! /randy It is a tough one. In my mind, I will not officially honor Barry “Big Head” Bonds’ milestone.
