Bonds did not take PEDs in a vacuum. Most of MLB was/is doing it, batters and hitters, thus making a level playing field for this era. Let's see how well Cobb, Williams, Ruth et al, would have done against juiced up pitchers like Clemens, Schilling and others.

PEDs didn't help Mac's average. He was still an all or nothing hitter. Bonds is great hitter whether or not he took PEDs. And how much better a hitter than everyone else is bore out in the numbers. PEDs is a strawman for comparing him to his peers since his peers were juiced up too.
