Because Libel is a very difficult thing to prove in a US court, and a lot of the speculation comes from leaked grand jury transcripts which were illegally made public. It's a mess legally, so Bonds really has no legal option IMO.
If Bonds took steroids he should never be in the HOF, even though he was a first ballot HOFer before all the doping accusations. But, while the guys in "Game of Shadows" has a point, you gotta have proof. And so far, nobody has evidence that Bonds was on the juice that holds up in a court of law. Come up with a test that shows he was using, then he will be held up for ridicule as he should be.
On a side note, for those of you who care, one group of people has been very successful with libel suits: The terror financing Saudis. If you are wondering what I am talking about, look up the recent controversy over the book "Alms for Jihad" by Rachel Ehrenfeld. It is an obsenity.
