I don't like how he presents himself to the press or the general public either, but I won't say that the record he is about to break is all that tainted from steroid use.
Steroids made him stronger and he healed faster. That's what steroids do. Is he an incredible hitter without them? Heck yea. That's why I still think he would have had 600 or so homeruns without the needle. But would he have as many homeruns or as many at-bats to attempt homeruns without the needle? Nope.
