Does it matter that he didn't test positive? He already has said he used the "cream" and the "clear" in sworn testimony. Just because he claimed he didn't know what it was when he took it (bullshit :rolleyes: )doesn't allow him to escape the fact that he cheated.

He's guilty. Period.

Your argument about an average joe taking steroids and trying to make it to the MLB is ludicrous. The vast majority of people don't have the hand-eye coordination to even come close to making contact. Bottom line is, for MLB'ers, that doesn't matter. These guys are already the best in the world at hitting a baseball. Designer steroids and HGH enhance performance in other aspects of hitting. Do you really think he would have hit 73, or 700+ without help?

He became a power hitter in his mid to late 30's. That is unheard of in the entire echelon of professional sport.

Once again, he's guilty. Period.

Should we:

Invalidate every record prior to 1920 because of the livelier ball that was used after that year?

Invalidate every record prior to 1947 because of racial segregation?

Invalidate Bob Gibson's 1.12 ERA record because of a 5 inch taller pitching mound?
Those were official rules/policies of Major League Baseball, not the actions of several players that tried to take an advantage of a loophole in the drug testing agreed upon in the CBA. Big difference.
