Compare and Contrast ... Barry Bonds vs Roger Clemens?

Everyone, including myself, is hating on Barry Bonds for roids ... this is justified in my opinion, because steroids tarnish the hallowed records and statistics of baseball records.

Now, people presume that Bonds use steroids for two main reasons: he got better as he entered his forties, and the size of his head now is about 5 times that of it his rookie year (and even in 1998). But isn't the same true for Clemens. Futhermore, each could still be using HGH in the offseason as baseball does not test for the substance as of now.

Do you think Clemens used steroids, and if so, how does that affect your view of him (as compared to Bonds, who many hate because he is the poster boy for roids)?

I think Clemens is a roid boy too but he hasn't testified to it in front of a grand jury (yet). Clemens has always had a large head so maybe he's been using for a long time.

Henry Aaron is still my HR king...!

Well let's see didn't Clemens sit out 60 games last year because he was so called pondering whether he should retire or come back as an Astro? Hmmmm the baseball steroid policy says for a third time offender the person should forfeit 60 games without pay. and miss a fourth of the season. And just when did Clemens Come back last year to pitch for the Astros? About 60 games plus a fourth of the season. Now I'm not saying that Clemens used but the argument can be made that he did based on those numbers. As for Bonds it's simple, Many baseball players have been found guilty of using steroids, and not one of them hit 756 homeruns. Bonds is the New King No doubt about it.

Below me, get your facts straight. No everyone would not know about it, because clemens is the poster boy for baseball. And do the math little guy, 60 games pondering retirement or 60 games suspension by the league under- wraps. in fact if i'm not mistaken the article posted has Clemens named as one of the players Jason Grimsley saw for himself take HGH and or Steroids during his tenure as a player. Since we all like to blame others on other people's testimony I guess Roger is a user and cheater too.

To the guy above me...what the heck are you talking about?? Clemens used steroids because he took off the first part of the season?? That makes no sense whatsoever. If he took the time off due to a suspension everyone would know about it, there's no way MLB could cover that up. I don't think he ever used anything though, mainly because he's lost speed on his fastball as he got older which is the natural thing to do. He's gotten bigger, but that seems to me to be mostly around the midsection which happens to most men in their early 40's. I don't know who used and who didn't, but Clemens isn't a guy I'd be looking at even though more pitchers have gotten busted than power hitters.
