Very good points Alan and Mojo....
As he was on the DL early, he was probably off them knowing he'd get tested and wouldn't be playing for awhile.
And Mojo his numbers are strong but no one really talked about being juiced until around the late 90's. In fact, I remember Albert Belle (and he would have been a prime candidate and perhaps rightfully so) and his biggest controversy was the corked bat in '95, steroid use wasn't really in the news yet.
With Bonds it's possible he has been using them his whole career, or it could be that people just don't want to believe someone is that good.
There is a quote I forget exactly who said it that could very well apply here: "you build heroes up just to later destroy them the second you see they are human and make a mistake."
