Barry Bonds: Is the Hall of Famer Finished?

Evidence has been found that the MLB teams have been working in a structure to block Barry Bonds from returning to the sport. The baseball players’ union has claimed there is evidence. Barry Bonds was indicted on charges last November 2007 on charges relating to the use of performance enhancing drugs. The man who recently broke the home run mark of the legendary Hank Aaron, name and fame has been tarnished from those accusations.

Barry Bonds refuses to give in and he maintains his innocence of unknowingly using enhancing drugs to his knowledge. Although he could be facing up to 30 years in prison, he is still looking to be signed. But no team wants to sign him, could it be because he is too risky with the problems surrounding him? Or is it because he is too old? After all he is going to 44 soon.

These allegations have scarred his image after being charged with 14 counts of false declarations and 1 count of obstructing justice. Barry Bonds became the highest profile figure caught up in the steroids probe. When his trainer Greg Anderson of Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative (B.A.L.C.O), was indicted and charged with supplying anabolic steroids to athletes. Even though no one has testified against him, still persist to prosecute him for perjury.

Although Barry Bonds criminal case is ongoing, he has been cleared to play. The owners of baseball of major league teams may have to answer for unemployment of Barry Bonds. The Major league baseball union could file a grievance on Barry s' behalf, claiming that owners tried to keep Barry out of a uniform this season. But some owners still are reluctant to sign him because of his present day unpopularity. This can make his come back difficult.
