He cheated, Bonds cheated, they all cheated. You dont have the best years of your life in your 40s unless youre being helped along. I believe that Roger started using steroids when he joined the Yankees, he obviously was lay up to the Hall of Fame before he signed on with them. Its the competitive nature and love of the game that makes any of these great athletes cheat. I do think Bonds and Clemens, and anyone else who used steroids should be allowed in the HOF with one condition, they shouldnt be allowed to hold down all time records. They should be in on their merit, but all time stats should be void because its impossible to say when the cheating started.
For the record I also think Pete Rose belongs in the HOF
