Nobody took down Barry Bonds. He was not convicted of anything (convicted but overturned, which is the same thing at the end) and retired at age 43. His retirement may have been slightly hastened by the publicity as well as by Bond's own surly personality, but at 43, it is pretty hard to claim that that indicates he was "taken down."
