Bonds testified he didn't know they were steroids

Note to ForumMod: This is classified as News per my suggestion to create a news forum! More fuel to the fire :DI don't think he knowingly took steroids from the onset, but maybe after he got going he might have realized that they were a step above supplementation.During my serious weight training days I took alot of testosterone enhancement type supplements and various other items, but never steroids. Although if they were safe and I had access to them I probably would have taken some form of them. But given the side effects I chose not to.I personally don't think there is anything wrong with it. If you want to take them, that's your prerogative. But for professional athletes I do believe it creates a disadvantage for the people who aren't taken them. So I do agree that they should be banned in professional sports, particularly full contact sports such as football and hockey where the difference in body mass and strength can significantly impact the game and potentially cause serious injury.

To your comment about deciding not taking them, i also decided to not take them while playing football in high school and it is amazing to see how easily they are accessible to athletes at very young ages. And they are banned in all of sports on any level and at least i have never heard otherwise. As for Bonds and any other athlete that plays the sport there is one aspect of baseball that I don't feel could possibly be enhanced by steroids. That is hand and eye coordination to contact with the ball. Yah he got bigger with the use of steroids but I don't think(IMO) that he could have improved that aspect of his game and I don't think you can argue that he wasn't a good player before his mid-30's when all of the steroid talk began developing. Anyways I am rambling and would like to hear more peoples thoughts on the subject.
