I get tired of folks who KNOW Bonds is guilty...unless you've personally seen him do drugs, you don't know any more than I do...which is absolutely nothing! It's sad that drugs have brought sport achievement into question...but far sadder that it has cost lives.
Actually his home run record is not a legal problem. The rule in Bonds case could be prove that you did not use steroids. This is not a court of Law thing. (I realize this is a silly arguement but you get my point) Ex. MLB made the assessment that Pete Rose bet on baseball, not a court of law. This of course is moot as he has admitted he bet.

Bonds may have lied to a Grand Jury. That has not gone away yet. And that is in the court system.
