no, but I bet it was great. As much as I despise Bonds, I still wouldn't put a * next to his name, even though he did admit to using steroid creams. The fact is that steroids didn't do it all for him. He does spend 6 hours a day working out in the offseason. Steroids helped, sure, but they weren't everything. There were plenty of people caught up in the Balco ring that never amounted to anything (Bernard, Estallela, etc.). Of course the media hasn't mentioned them since the start because they don't add to the fanaticism.
Seriously though, if MLB actually cared about performance-enhancing drugs they would do something about the rampant use of anphetamines. They have been around the park for decades. I just get worked up over all the steroid talk going around these days.
