Wow, this is going to make for one heck of an asterisk next to his name in the hall of fame. I personally think that if they convict him and its shown proof positive that he knowingly took steroids, then he shouldn't have the real home run record. The need to do that for anyone taking steroids, but asterisks by their name that they were shown proof positive that they took performance enhancing steroids. Then do not allow them to own the record. Start with Bonds, the McGuire, and everyone in between. Set an example for future players.

Bonds says he didn't know he was taking steroids. Is that even possible? Could he really not have any suspicion as he grew from the size of Dave Chappelle to the size of Michael Clark Duncan?
