Here are a few quotes from a related SI on-line article:

...By 2001, when Bonds broke Mark McGwire's single-season home-run record (70) by belting 73, Bonds was using two designer steroids referred to as the Cream and the Clear, as well as insulin, human growth hormone, testosterone decanoate (a fast-acting steroid known as Mexican beans) and trenbolone, a steroid created to improve the muscle quality of cattle.

BALCO tracked Bonds' usage with doping calendars and folders -- detailing drugs, quantities, intervals,testosterone levels...Bonds used the drugs in virtually every conceivable form: injecting himself with a syringe..swallowing pills, placing drops of liquid under his tongue, and, ... applying it topically.

If Anderson told Bonds he was not due for another cycle, the authors write, Bonds would tell him, "F--- off, I'll do it myself.''

The authors compiled the information (through)..court documents.. confidential memoranda of federal agents...grand jury testimony..

Through 1998..Bonds averaged one home run every 16.1 at bats. Since then ... Bonds has hit ...one every 8.5 at bats).

...Bonds turned to steroids after the 1998 season because he was jealous of McGwire.

...Bonds..dismissed McGwire with .. remarks such as, "They're just letting him do it because he's a white boy." But Bonds ... decided he needed to dramatically increase his muscle mass to compete with him.

Erase his records. And McGwire's. And Sosa's.

"They're just letting him do it because he's a white boy."

We ALL know THAT cannot be a TRUE statement, BECAUSE BLACKS CANNOT EVER BE PREJUDICE. Only WHITES can be. It is a rule the liberals have put in. SO, WE KNOW that Bonds is telling us the truth (wink-wink). Sure. Oh, by the way, I have this bridge in Brooklyn if anyone is interested.
