At the same time, Bonds was chased by the law for years until they found nothing on him other than guesses, after he became the single season and career home run leader, multiple gold gloves, one of four that reached the 40/40 club, and lead a couple of teams into post season and world series wins.


Bonds was “convicted” in the court of public opinion, and “convicted” by the sportswriters who vote for the Hall of Fame.

And “convicted” by anecdotal evidence, such as how he became much heavier and had a larger head with loss of hair in his final years in baseball. These were considered evidence of steroid use, even if he didn’t have a positive test during his playing days.

Being convicted by opinion, is like kissing through a screen door. I have a strong dislike for liberals because they are in the habit of shaming people based upon conjecture. If anyone has facts rather than guesses about Bond’s use of PEDs, then let it out, But until they do, in this country, he is innocent until proven guilty.

Or has the lib party got that changed? Here we have a man being guilty by guess and we have a traitor agreeing she let out national secrets and she’s innocent. Same thing. One baseball player gets investigated for years, and nothing is found, and they are making it clear he will never enter the HOF. And we have another player that was proven to have lied to the investigators, about every aspect of how he got the stuff and used it illegally, and he’s okay.

Ever heard of Lee Haney? He broke Arnie’s record of MR Olympia titles. A devout christian, never proven to have used PEDs. He was twice as big as Bonds. So by observation he used them, right? Stay with the facts and the law and Bonds did nothing to deserve the swipe at him other than play a game, very well.
