There were no rules against it, so it was okay. Back in the early days players admitted to taking the reds and greens before some games (speed) to pick them up after a road trip, or something. If Bonds is using the drugs now, then yes, this record shouldn't count, because there are rules against it. But if he only did them for the period up until the rule was made, then it's technically, perfectly fine.




Frankly, I don't agree with it.
And personally, if I was any pitcher who respected baseball in any form, I would have intentionally walked Bonds every at bat, for the rest of his career, so he never gets another home run, let alone another hit.
Random Fact:

Steroids have been illegal in baseball since 1991.

Let's just replace humans with a bunch of robot baseball players and form their own MLRB. That way we have several Babe Robots who hit 5,718,000 ft. homeruns with every swing and gets thousands of homeruns every season. That way super-juiced human players are obsolete, and human baseball players can play safely. That is, until the MLRB players evolve, get greedy, and start to think they could earn just as much money as the MLB players if they just strike for half a season. Then we're doomed. But let's face it as it comes.
