Bonds and Steroids

Steroid use does not make Barry Bonds' or anyone else's' career stats or accomplishments any less meaningful, I am sick of hearing people infer that because an athlete takes steroids they do not have to work hard to be good at their respective activity. It is a fact that we as humans pride ourselves in our ability to adapt. Yes Barry like many others might have used steroids but when you think about it steroids are a part of professional sports now just as new diseases are a part of life now. Its not like if steroids are this magical thing where if you use them you are instantly a hall of fame candidate. I see everyone getting worked up about steroids however like in the Michael Vick situation wouldn't it do more good if instead of suspending these players, the respective league or authority garnishes a portion of their earnings and use that money to enforce steroid policies educate our kids aabout the dangers of using them...
