I think this cost him his HOF shot.

I don't think it'll cost him his HOF, he was found innocent by a jury and was not penalized by MLB. He is innocent of all charges despite what everyone thinks (including me) did.

The sporting leagues have tests and if you pass them you play, simple as that. Since pro sports are just entertainment and business, the sporting leagues have to be careful with testing or there won't be any league. Like how NBA doesn't push testing for pot or NFL only does when a player is screwing up...

While I don't disagree with a word you said, they (Bonds & Clemens) were (right or wrong) found guilty by a court of public opinion, and it's sport writers who ultimately decide whether or not they're enshrined at Cooperstown.

Both have to be enshrined or Cooperstown will be light on talent represented of the 1990's. You can't have a decade of players in the HoF that are a joke while all the real heroes of the era are not represented. Just about every big name of that era is suspect in baseball.

100% agree.
