Survey name: Barry Bonds - a lighter side poll
Poll Release: July 2007 Week #3

Based on the great response we received from this survey, there are some passionate feelings about whether or not Barry Bonds used (or uses) performance enhancing drugs. This was one of the highest responding E-Newsletter quick-poll's to date! If you have an idea or suggestion for a poll you would like to see ran - either serious or lighter-side see our poll submission form.

Responses included in "Other" included the following:

1, 2, & 3!

Both the first and second response: He is sending the wrong message to our youth and Hank Aaron and other did it the right way.

I care for all the reasons above...it's just wrong Steroids alone is not enough, the guy has talent and a good eye. Respect that.

These guys that use drugs, (illegal, semi-illegal, legal but questionable) should be expelled from all sports. Pete Rose just gambled and was banned for life. We have guys that are caught using cocaine and other drugs and get suspended then come back. At least gambling is legal in some places. The last time I checked drugs were illegal in ALL fifty states and most all countries.

I care, but baseball is getting a bad rap, when there are other sports like Football, and even cycling where it is a problem as well.

Indifferent. 'Cause I do not follow baseball.

I care because it's not proved that he used steroids or HGH.

All the "I cares" really

babe ruth did it on hot dogs and beer when there was not even a thought of human growth hormone, and did it in half of the games played in almost half of the time it took hank aaron or barry bonds. A record is a record if you did something in the same amount of time or quicker. I am sure if i played ball for 25 years or sammy sosa did, they would hit as many home runs if you give them enough time. Babe Ruth did it in record time and in less games. Does everyone forget this !!

Babe Ruth, Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle and the like were clean, but they also didn't face the pitching that Barry Bonds faced- like African American pitchers, Latin American Pitchers, Asian pitchers, 6 foot 11 inch tall pitchers (Randy Johnson), pitchers who consistently throw in the upper 90's, or pitchers who themselves are on Performance enhancing drugs. So although I am against every part of performance enhancing drugs, bottom line is that when compared to the players of each of their respective times, Barry Bonds is still one of the greatest ever-whether he did or didn't take P.E.D.'s
