Illegal Performance Substances

I was over at the MotionData blog and I came across something that I found interesting. It was a chart showing Barry Bonds stats. Barry Bonds broke the the home run record for those not into sports. Home runs aren't  the part that interested me what I found interesting was just how dramatically his game improved during the time periods he was caught using steroids.

Being a personal trainer, fan of weightlifting, fan of bodybuilding. I've been offer more then once steroids.  I've always kindly said no. It just isn't my thing. Typically i'm not the type of person that judges others for what they do to there bodies smoke, drink, drive without a seatbelt, and etc. After all it is your body it's not my concern.

Are steroids good or bad I don't know I don't care. Are steroids illegal yes so what I still could careless. Are steroids banned substance from major league sports and many other events yes. This is when I care because they destroy the game as you'll see by the dramatic increase in Barry Bonds performance. They send a bad message to kids. Essentially it tells kids if you want to get ahead in life cheat.

I feel anybody caught using any substance banned from an event, has cheated so they should be stripped of there titles and records because they didn't earn it. Now if steroids were legal and not banned I wouldn't care. In natural bodybuilding if you are caught using any substance that is banned you are stripped of your title and records. It is also the same in the Olympics. So why isn't it in major league sports?

You be the judge of how much of an impact steroids improved Barry Bonds game.
