Baseball isn't like track or swimming or cycling where something in your body is going to give you a boost relative to your competitors. Its a game that is highly skills based. He still had to put the bat on the ball and drive it out of the park.
I always disliked this arguement. At one time I could put the bat on the ball. Steroids can make the difference between a 400 foot HR and a 390 foot long out.

Nobody denies Barry could play. He showed it for years that he was better than average at the game. I have far far more respect for what Julio Franco accomplished late in his career than Bonds.
