It is so obvious. When MLB starts cracking down he decides to take a year off. I know he was injured (wink, wink). So when he comes back 40 lbs lighter we are supposed to assume it was because he was inactive.

nice observation. Not many people mention how much time he took off. I am sure that it had nothing to do with purging the system lol

Ping for the Jim Rome list, he's talking about it now. Man, if half this stuff is true, Bonds is TOAST.

Written by two reporters for the SF Chronicle. It's gotta be true then.

I read this title and thought it was something about Arnold. I'm spending tooooo much time on the computer.

I hope everything he has done since 1999 is asterisked. I can't stand the guy anyway. He is always the perpetual victim.

Sounds as if this all started because he was jealous of McGuire and Sosa.

A friends brother got hired in an office job at a then new expansion baseball club. The secretaries were very happy to have another person in the office as they usually did not have enough 'bladder capacity' for the MLB playe drug screens. He said the players never got anywhere near the 'piddle possy'.

Maybe it also works well on conditioning the leather in baseball gloves.

Bonds could have just inhaled a small amount before testing positive.

Baseball in the collective has a decision. They can either look the other way, or they can say what Bonds did was wrong.

What I won't tolerate is something along the lines of "Well, Barry Bonds maintains his innocence, blah, blah, blah."

There comes a point that even without an admission from Bonds, a reasonable person comes to the conclusion that Bonds used steroids - intentionally.

Based on what I have read about Bonds in the past, he should NOT be a first ballot Hall of Fame inductee. He intentionally used steroids in a manner to enhance his performance, and attempted to hide that fact.
