Bonds is arguably one of the greatest defensively LF in history, if not the greatest. He won eight Gold Gloves, and was superb at cutting off balls hit down the left-field line and holding hitters to singles.
Likewise, he had 514 stolen bases. He's 34th all-time in SB, and the only member of the 500-500 club. In fact, no other member of the 500 SB Club has even 300 career HR!
And neither defensive ability or baserunning ability are materially affected by PED use....

Yes because being able to run faster actually hurts defensive and base running ability.
