[Dudeskey]

In a related story, baseball Commissioner Bud Selig knew the whole ****ing time what was going on and looked the other way.

[Arkansas Bronco]

I heard Clemens might have used them as well, dang internet rumors.

[-Slap-]

The cheaters and their apologists want people to believe that every baseball player dating back to Abner Doubleday was juicing. In kindergarten I learned this as the "everybody else was doing it" defense. It didn't play with Mrs McCabe then (God, I loved her) and it doesn't play now.

These goons that run sports cant hide their laziness and corruption anymore in the age of open information.

David Stern, Bud Selig, Goodell, FIFA...

It doesnt take a genius to understand your juvenile businesses.

[broncocalijohn]

Seems he got nailed a few weeks after his 73rd homerun of the year. I think this was in 01 but still shows that Bonds is a cheat and a liar and MLB turned their noses, eyes, hands and every other body part. Only part left was the crap Bonds left to stink up the joint. Unfortunatly, we have to smell and deal with it years later. What a farce. But then again, I heard all this on the light rail years ago.

[rugbythug]

I thought baseball started last year when the Rockies made the playoffs. Maybe just me.

[Wes Mantooth]

You won't like me when I'm angry

[Kaylore]

Look how Bonds is getting singled out!ROFL!

[epicSocialism4tw]

Bonds would make a funny Hulk. He has a voice like an annoying, whiny, ego-centric pre-teen boy.

I'll bet Mrs. McCabe also told you "cheaters" never prosper... :~ohyah!:

Methinks that they dont really care as long as they keep selling jerseys and tickets.

Lyle Alzado took some form of steriods. He contracted brain cancer and passed. I am amazed that more of these guys haven't gotten cancer of the gonies or brain or whatever.....

Damn that is a persistent myth... Lyle Alzado's brain cancer had nothing to do with steroids.

Weird though how many childeren of athletes however seem to have more birth defects than the rest of us.

[epicSocialism4tw]

Birth defects are due to genetic problems or in utero complications...If you can link that to anabolic steroid useage then you can probably get a grant somewhere.

I wanted to marry her. I wanted to marry Mrs Russell, my first grade teacher, too. It blew my mind, the first day of second grade, when I realized Mrs Bonner hated kids. Why the hell did she choose teaching elementary school as her vocation? I still don't understand that.

I have heard a maxim that may or may not be true in her case: Those who can do, do. Those who can't do teach.

I know teachers who choose that career for one reason or another, and I also know some bitter folks who couldnt get the job they tried for and fell back on teaching.

I believe effective teachers have an intuitive empathy that enables them to recognize and overcome obstacles to communication. This allows them to impart information to students from a wide range of backgrounds and intelligence levels. Unfortunately, I believe this is largely an innate skill and not a learned one. Just as in any profession, the upper echelon represent a small percentage of the workforce in that field. I can remember all my really good teachers and I'm grateful to them. I'm grateful to anybody who chooses that field because they genuinely want to help young people.

Sure.

That would be the ideal.

When you have an unforgiving system of training where a young person is forced to choose their vocation when they are all of 20 years old and completely unaware of what they have to offer or what they enjoy, you end up with people who by the time they are developed enough to understand their lot in life, have already backed into careers that they dislike.

Most people arent cogniscient enough to understand these things until they are around 30. Then its time for a new career, and maybe even more student loans.

I haven't seen 1 Roger Clemons thread talking about how much of a liar he is... The report was false

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3246675&campaign=rss&source=MLBHeadlines

SAN FRANCISCO -- Federal prosecutors mistakenly filed court papers Thursday that incorrectly stated that Barry Bonds failed a steroids test in November of 2001 -- one month after breaking the single-season home run mark.

U.S. attorney spokesman Josh Eaton now says that the reference in Thursday's government court filing regarding Bonds testing positive was actually referring to a November 2000 test that was previously disclosed in the indictment of Bonds and had already been reported.

That drug test was included in the indictment unsealed last year, when prosecutors said the test was for a player they called "Barry B."

In December, Bonds pleaded not guilty to lying to a federal grand jury in 2003 when he denied using performance-enhancing drugs.

The mistake prompted at least one erroneous report that was quickly posted to Web sites around the country.

The filing amounted to federal prosecutors defending their questioning of Bonds before a grand jury, and urging a judge to keep the slugger's perjury prosecution on track.

Bonds had argued that the questions posed to him by prosecutors were ambiguous and confusing. He demanded that the five-count indictment charging him with lying to a grand jury be tossed out. Bonds has pleaded not guilty.

In the filing, prosecutors said Bonds was specifically told before he began testifying in 2003 that he could consult with his lawyers or ask for a question rephrased if he ever got confused.

"Bonds never said he was confused or asked the prosecutor to rephrase a question," the government's filing stated.

Instead, they said their questions left no doubt that they were asking Bonds about his drug use and his relationship with personal trainer Greg Anderson.

Prosecutors said "as the evidence at trial will show, each count charges that Bonds repeatedly lied in answering the same question or questions on the same subject matter."

The matter will be the subject of a court hearing Feb. 29.

In a related proceeding, Anderson and BALCO founder Victor Conte are expected in court Friday for a hearing on whether they can keep all the evidence prosecutors turned over to them from the government's investigation of steroids in sports. Federal prosecutors want the two convicted steroids dealers to return the documents.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Good article, Max. Really shows what a deceptive piece of **** B*rry has been all these years.

True but, you must include that lying SOB in washington right now!

[dbfan4life]

Anyone can achive results like Barry does with a little bit a hard work and a bowflex. I don't see what the problem is.

His boobs are as big and fake as OJ's new girl's.

[crowebomber]

I know everybody passes this off because everyone knew he took steroids, but this test serves as the smoking gun in the perjury case. He said he never took steroids, yet this is evidence he was lying. This will put him in prison.

Read post #29, the article was wrong . . . for now.

[montrose]

I think Bonds should start super-juicing again and sign with the Red Sox. It'd be hilarious to watch sports' greatest villian go from hated to beloved in about five minutes by the Sox Nation.

[crowebomber]

Read post #29, the article was wrong . . . for now.

Actually, just the date was wrong. He tested positive in 2000 rather than 2001. The difference only slightly helps his legacy as it didn't come just after he broke the hr record in 2001. But as to the perjury case, it is still a smoking gun.

[ColoradoDarin]

Did MLB even HAVE steroid testing in 2000? I didn't think they started testing until 2003? Unless it wasn't an MLB test?

[crowebomber]

The way I understand it, it was a BALCO test that, since the investigation, has been discovered. Apparently they did testing on players they were giving the drugs to to see what was traceable or what wasn't.

[Bladerunner]

Yeah, the idea that Selig would have know about this test is silly. It was a test done by BALCO, presumably to see whether or not individuals using BALCO steroid products would pass or fail such a test under some conditions. I doubt that BALCO was bcc'ing Bud as to the results.

I think Barry and Roger should form a reality T.V. show together. Barry is a lying cheat and he bitches about how it's being made all about him (both true and untrue), but at least he doesn't actually attempt to get my sympathy the way this pathetic lying douche bag of a pitcher did yesterday.

Yeah, pulling all that "I'm a hard working American" BS is an insult. I would have hated him less if he just pulled a Maguire and only say on thing over and over (I'm not here to talk about the past). McNamee is slimey but come on, he named Knobloch, Pettite and Clemens and two guys confirmed his story. Then he named Clemens' wife and she confirmed it. I mean if his motive was to get back at Clemens for some reason (the motive of why he would lie has yet to be discussed), he could have just outed Clemens' wife. That would have been plenty to screw up his life for a while.

Plus, Pettite said Roger admitted using it. Why would Pettite lie? The rocket has dug a deep hole and it's too late to back out and admit it now because of the perjury threat.

Barry resorted to using his son Nikolai as a human shield in an attempt to garner sympathy.
