Why not blame those who dropped the ball?
Feds, state and league?
It was sitting right in front of their yaps, and the enitre public, and now there is outrage?
Spare me.
The bit on Bonds is more of the pack mentality.
Nobody cared when Brian Downing was roided up...or was that just iron pumping that got him to look like Superman?

They had their chances to crack down. Year of chancs and did zippo.

What about the NFL?
Where is the cry about those in the NFL?
Don't tell me you think it's the "training table" that's made them this huge in 20 years?

They all dropped the ball, but MLB is the custodian of baseball's histroy and records [Can't think of any sport so stat driven as baseball]. And unlike government, which has a duty to the fans, especially the kids, MLB has a duty to the GAME.

So I'm not just after Bonds. I want the head of every major league player who as used 'roids or HGH. I think that the evidence before the Grand Jury should pass muster in any civil suit the"union" [most worthless union since the NEA, as far as the public goes]brings after these guys [Bonds, Sheffield, Giambi,and anyone else] get thrown out for life. But at a MINIMUM, I want any records they set, or currently hold, as a result of statistics acquired after 1998, disallowed.
