Bonds should have merely said he thought Andersen was greasing him down with K-Y...

END-OF-STORY.

What difference does it make, the home run records are a joke. Ask Hank Aaron what he thinks about using steroids.

His denyability is rather flimsy and really bugs me.
It's very Clintonesque of him.

He doesn't deserve an asterix. His name should be erased.

Voided. Annulled.
