I don’t think there is a soul left who thinks Barry Bonds didn’t take steroids, except possibly MC Hammer. However, the Bonds apologists will say that even though Barry took steroids, it wasn’t against the rules until last year so he didn’t really cheat and his records should stand.
Well, you’re wrong, and a June 7 1991 memo from MLB proves that. Just because the league didn’t test for steroids doesn’t mean it wasn’t banned.
The possession, sale or use of any illegal drug or controlled substance by Major League players or personnel is strictly prohibited. Major League players or personnel involved in the possession, sale or use of any illegal drug or controlled substance are subject to discipline by the Commissioner and risk permanent expulsion from the game.
…
This prohibition applies to all illegal drugs and controlled substances, including steroids…
So what’s your excuse now, Bonds fans? Are you going back to the argument that he didn’t know they were steroids?
