Hmmmmmm.......Then I wonder why Bonds isn't suing those two reporters who accuse him of massive steroid use for SLANDER? or LIBEL?

I mean, I'm sure he could find some lawyer SOMEWHERE that might like to get his name in lights......lol

Nahhhh--no lawyer would ever want any case that might give him national publicity (rolling eyes).

I went back and looked up the old McGwire threads on Free Republic and I'm really amazed. When he broke the home run record, maybe 20% of the posts accused McGwire of steroid use. Half of those said asterisk the record, the other half said "it's part of the game now". I even got amused at several "innocent until proven guilty" comments.

None that I immediately found said "Ban him from baseball."

That's one of the reasons I pop-in and defend Bonds on these threads. I know a lot of people just don't like him because of his abrasive personality. They'll use any opportunity to crucify the guy. But the fact is, he is one of the greatest players in baseball history and put up some monster years before anyone accused him of using steroids, or before he allegedly started using steroids. I'd like to see someone recognize what he's accomplished, but no one ever does. They just slam him on steroid use, all on pure conjecture.
