Should their records count? I've heard the debate.
Until they start rampant suspensions, I'm going to admit I've reached saturation point on this issue.
It's too bad because it should be a huge deal, but I'm guessing I'm not the only one.

Two points: 1) Youre right - the topic is so saturated it's not even debatable anymore until something big happens - new drug policy, a player serves time, someone dies on the field, etc...
2) Why is there such a double standard between football and baseball? Shawn Merrimen gets suspended for doing steriods, comes back, dominates and is considered for defensive player of the year (and NFL-types argue he would have won, if not for his steriod suspension - ????). If youre a MLB player and you so much as talk to a guy that knew a guy that had the same doctor as a steriod user, youre ineligible for the Hall of Fame and blackballed in the media.
I say, who cares. Let them shoot up in the fungos. I want to see Bonds hit a ball to San Jose and then his head explodes. I want to see a 3.10 second 100m in the Olympics - make it like drag racing. I just wish it would go away as the topic to start SportsCenter every night.
