So much for the "I've never failed a drug test" argument. What an asswipe. And baseball is just so fucked up. |

This whole thing is a joke and I just try to zone it out as much as I can. I really could care less. Isn't the fact that the writers will likely keep a lot of these guys out of the hall anyways enough? I understand by taking the drug they gained an extra few years of solid production. Which could led to millions of extra dollars, but they beat the system then or the system didn't care then, so let them go. Plus, aren't there bigger problems in the world than wasting all this time and money on trying to pin Roger Clemens, or Barry Bonds. What next, are they gonna go after every single player that allegedly took steroids and lied, then maybe in 20 years the MLB will have victory over the drug? What a waste of time. What's the past is the past, let it go. Enforce some new rules, lay down the potential penalties (IMO, lifetime ban after one failed test) and again lets just play the game. Enough is enough. |

Fuck. By PAUL ELIAS Associated Press Writer SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A typo in court papers regarding Barry Bonds filed late Thursday by federal prosecutors touched off a brief tempest over the mistaken belief that he failed a drug test in November 2001, one month after breaking the home run record. In fact, the government meant to reference a previously reported November 2000 failed drug test that was included in the indictment unsealed last year, U.S. attorney spokesman Josh Eaton said. The mistake prompted a flurry of erroneous reports on television and Web sites around the country. The filing amounted to federal prosecutors defending their questioning of Bonds before a grand jury, and urging a judge to keep the slugger's perjury prosecution on track. Bonds had argued that the questions posed to him by prosecutors were ambiguous and confusing. He demanded that the five-count indictment charging him with lying to a grand jury be tossed out. Bonds has pleaded not guilty. In the filing, prosecutors said Bonds was specifically told before he began testifying in 2003 that he could consult with his lawyers or ask for a question rephrased if he ever got confused. ``Bonds never said he was confused or asked the prosecutor to rephrase a question,'' the government's filing stated. Instead, they said their questions left no doubt that they were asking Bonds about his drug use and his relationship with personal trainer Greg Anderson. Prosecutors said ``as the evidence at trial will show, each count charges that Bonds repeatedly lied in answering the same question or questions on the same subject matter.'' The matter will be the subject of a court hearing Feb. 29. |

Yeah...no. Just no. No. Anywho. Bonds is a better person than many say he is, he's still a jackass though. He took steroids and lied about it. But I'm going to miss him. :( |

Baseball is in a really bad state right now....First the John Rocker accusations now this??? I mean this is huge. I mean if this is reported we probably aren't even talking about Bonds even close to the record. Selig isn't looking to good right now. |
