February 4, 200917 yr And people wonder why it's the second pass time this day in age.... I think it has slipped past second.
February 5, 200917 yr If he tested postive in 2003, why did it take six years to prove it? I believe his sample was first tested back in 2003 and came back clean. Back then they did not have the capability to detect certain steroids. His sample was maintained and more recently (not sure exactly when) retested in connection with the fed case and the steroids were detected. I guess they must have kept a pretty solid chain of evidence, as I would have guessed this would have been the first thing his attorneys would be screaming about.
February 5, 200917 yr The MLB needs to do everything it can to get this subject to go away. It is (finally). It is letting players know they will be tested and those caught will be punished. They were just about 7-8 years late getting serious about it.
February 5, 200917 yr What bothers me most about Bonds is not his denial of using. It was that when questioned he said something to the likes of yes plenty are using, they are just cheating to try and keep up with me. It made me want to :puke:! Bonds' claim that he thought his trainer was actually giving him B-12 shots and flaxseed are ludicrous. One would think that after he picked up about 25 pounds of pure muscle and his head expanded about 3 sizes during one off-season (and just by coincidence, the off-season after the year McGwire set the HR record!), the thought might have crossed mind that it just may have been steroids he was putting into his body. And his trainer's refusal to testify in the matter says volumes about what took place.

Oh well that does make a little more sense. Thank you cooperstown.
