I get tired of folks who KNOW Bonds is guilty...unless you've personally seen him do drugs, you don't know any more than I do...which is absolutely nothing! It's sad that drugs have brought sport achievement into question...but far sadder that it has cost lives.

Actually his home run record is not a legal problem. The rule in Bonds case could be prove that you did not use steroids. This is not a court of Law thing. (I realize this is a silly arguement but you get my point) Ex. MLB made the assessment that Pete Rose bet on baseball, not a court of law. This of course is moot as he has admitted he bet.

Bonds may have lied to a Grand Jury. That has not gone away yet. And that is in the court system.

Hmmm! Graduated from UE, age 22 weighed 190, hat size 7 1/8
Now age 36 weight 230, hat size is 7 3/8. (Actually think age 30 I was this size)
I know I haven't taken any anabolic steriods or HGH.
Hmmm!!!!

Let's see MLB officials needed to find a way to put the fans back into the seats after the disasterous strike.
First it was the juice ball, now its just the juice. These officials, headed by Selig, are now are trying to put the players under the bus, and save their own butts.

Bonds certainly isn't the only one to cheat,but he is the one who wants the most coveted record in the sport.Sosa,and Mc Gwire would get the same disgust from the fans (if they were going for this record with padded stats.)

I personally still have Maris with the single season HR record. A-Rod is going for it this year in my world.
