Unfortunately, it will not, even if he wins and posts blood results daily. If Barry Bonds all of a sudden takes a public steroid test, does the public stop thinking he cheated in the past?

SUre, if Bonds came back and posted base line blood values and continued to post them all season long wiht samples from one or more indepednent labs and then, while doing so, he went out and hit 73 home runs, it would suggest pretty strongly that either he was clean or it didn't matter (or that he took something althoogether new, I suppose, but that wouldn't seem as likely).

It's not just new testing, it's new testing and new racing. Now if he doens't do so well in the race, a very real possibility, then he is in a strange position.
