It amazes me that atheletes who know they are going to be tested continue to shoot up. The Barry Bonds defense isn't likely to work again.

Man that’s such BS. If it really did come from some mysterious ‘supplement’ he’d be sueing that supplement makers arse off.
Doper.
Of course it's BS. It would be a PR nightmare for a player to admit to knowingly using Roids. Sure, we all know that he really did them knowingly, but it's an entirely different story when a player admits to it.

See the different reactions to the Bonds and Giambi Grand Jury testimonies. People still love Bonds, but despise Giambi.

Not very many people like Barry Bonds anymore, not that many ever did.

I forgot to add "relatively."

The fallout from the Grand Jury testimony, from what I've seen, has been much worse for Giambi than for Bonds. Would you agree?

I do have to hand it to Bonds though, he's played the media very well. The talk about him retiring, walking out on crutches from his knee surgery, etc. He did a decent job of diverting some of the attention away from the roids.

I can't say that I'm a fan either. I would hate to be his teammate--the guy takes days off on back-to-back games and has (or had) a recliner in the clubhouse. That's unbelievable and unacceptable in what should be a team sport.

Wasn't there a football playa recently that quit football so he could smoke weed? Like a pretty good playa? At least he was straight up...

You've got a good memory. Right after he signed a new contract. One of the best running backs in the NFL.

I didn't read the article but just heard a radio mouthpiece saying that he could be charged with purjuring himself before Congress. That takes some pretty big balls which is ironic in so many ways for someone taking steroids and Viagra.

Even better was when Nate Newton (football player) got caught with 213 lbs of marijuana.

Isn't if funny that Bonds started talking about retirement about the time the congress started pushing baseball to get serious about roids?? The knee thing is really unfortunate, my ortho guy says it's a career ending injury.

That's while I like Bonds so much: he is not a hypocrite. He is a jerk and an a-hole, but he ain't lying...

I still think he is probably lying about the roids. But the septic knee, well it's really bad, he'll be lucky to do more the hobble.

You might be right, but he ain't playing. I do think he could not play with roids, so his hiatus is not due to his knee.

The other big difference is if Bonds does get caught, no one will be yelling "what a hypocrite!".
