Absolutely! Barry Bonds deserves the respect of becoming a legend in Baseball. It shouldn't matter how he has managed his skill enhancements for it is the talent and know how that gets the kudos. Athletes like Barry take the responsibility to develop, maintain and optimize their bodies to perform their best work. Many, if not all competitors supplement nutrients, minerals and enhanced hormones along with enzymes to build body muscle.

These athletic entertainers are constantly pushed while the bar continues to rise. With money incentives to bait a drive for excellence it is difficult to rule out any form of aid for achievement.

Remember! Barry Bonds is responsible for his well being. It is his decision and his alone to risk any side effects or later damage to his body by what he decides to put in it. It seems inevitable that enhancements in sports are an evolutionary step much as e-mail and cell phones have been for communication. If nothing else, you must recognize the talent and skill in some way even if you have to begin a new category.
