now that's something to focus on...not some ball player...D

What about underground drug labs and due process of the law?

minor point but he isn't in trouble for using steroids but lying to a grand jury investigating balco about his use of steroids. If he had told the truth he would have lost his career, but would be Scott free of legal entanglements.

Lying to a grand jury serious and he's facing thirty years behind bars. Even with a plea bargin I don't see him getting less than five.

Oh I'm aware, but they only called him in to testify as he was a major league baseball player suspected of using juice. They had no proof he was at the time. as you said, had he admitted it in that context, he would have lost everything. It was complete nonsense to call him to testify in the first place.

Yeah....Conte's a choir boy[/sarcasm] (not in the OMGF sense though) ....

Justified or not...Barry was involved with BALCO...BALCO was doing bad stuff....why wouldn't you call the most media-attention-grabbing figure to the stand???

Really...I want the answer... If it gets pubilicity ...why not?
