Living in the UK I'm not really able to make this comparison so I'll let you yanks tell me if it is similar but would Tiger going on to break Jack's record now be considered sullied in the same way as Bonds breaking Ruth's home run record is?

Bonds record is tainted because he (allegedly) used performance enhancing drugs to make it happen. I seriously doubt anybody will credit Tiger's on-course achievements to his off-course 'transgressions'; if anything I would think all that sneaking around and apparent late nights would have hurt his game.

Nobody I know thinks less of Kobe's, Jordan's or Wilt Chamberlain's body of work on the basketball court because of their promiscuity off of it. Tiger being friends with guys like Kobe and Jordan all seems pretty fitting now, eh?
