Barry Bonds "hits" #715 Hr

[Leighton]

Bonds is only alleged to have gotten them from a trainer who was heavily into the steroid distribution business. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with Armstrong, but the most recent controversy is only about perjury he may have committed when he testified in 2003 about his trainer who since then has basically been convicted of dealing. I don't think anyone doubts Bonds guilt these days. It's just one bad thing after the other.

Interestingly enough, Mark McGwire (his big nemisis) admits to the same thing Robbie O'Davis was suspended for in 1998, despite there being no laws against what he took when he was tested.

look at Rafael Palmeiro and Jose Canseco...both known Steroids users and they claim Bonds is to..so MLB has too do something??

[flickn]

they did do something .....your banned if you test positive.they shoul;d have started testing in the eighties when cocaine was big amongst athletes.


theres no doubt barry did roids up to this piont , qeustion is ....does it matter that he hasnt broken hank arrons record yet , until that mark in histrory has passed ...who cares.barry doesntmake the frontpage of any american newspaper for tieing or surpassing second place that happened when arron tied ruth. then [passing him.

barry sucks , he is a awful player and constantly ignores fans , wont sign autographs .or anything.....babe on the other hand never turned anybody down.the fan is who gave you your fortune and world recognition

its possiable to have roids back in then 20-30's , differance is we didn thave 24 hour news channels to report it.i mean why not we had cocaine in coca cola

Yeah pretty much Dan, whatever his final HR tally is will have a * next to it...like a sidenote (steroid using mofo)

It's got to suck that the biggest and most sort after record in baseball will have an asterik next to it. But, fuck, it has to be there. What is the record? 750-odd? Hopefully Bonds will get injured again, force him to retire and the record will stay safe. How many years has McGwire got in him?

Roids were discovered by the Nazi's in the 30s. I don't think anyone used them other than test patients and physically ailed until the 70s and 80s when body-building took off.

And cocaine isn't a performance enhancing drug either. Wendall Sailor down here just got done for snorting and is facing a 2-year ban. His career has been going downhill for years now. Much like Shawn Kemp in the NBA about 6 or 7 years back.

Mcgwire is retired

[Leighton]

Well there you go then. Bonds won't last much longer anyway.

[escape]

While Bonds may have past Babe's record, he will never pass the Babe's sature as a baseball legend. Record's are made to be broken, but legends last for forever and Bonds is no legand. .
