Default The Barry Bonds Dilemma

Do you believe when Bonds breaks Hank Aaron's home run record, should he get the home run record? Or should he not because of the steroids?
I know some people will say Bond's didn't do them so discuss this here.

Unless or until it is proven that he was using illegal performance enhancements, any accomplishment he attains is perfectly valid. Thus, he successfully took away Mark McGuire's home run record which was in turn successfully taken from Hank Aaron.

My problem with these records isn't the allegations that Bonds was doing something illegal, it is that the records don't take into account the changing form of the league in which the record was broken. Better technology, longer seasons etc etc are what make breaking old records problematic.

Dude, I was at the game when Barry Bonds hit the record home run.
I personally think he should not have the record, since he was taking steroids.
