Fainaru-Wada and Williams - Bonds, Baseball, and Steroids

[snhtown9]

Isn't it "the pot calling the kettle black" for these two nebbishes to be pointing a finger of shame at Bonds, BALCO, and MLB while they themselves obtained ILLEGALLY DISCLOSED court documents to write this book and profit off of it?(Sounds quite corrupt, too) I mean, if someone, in their own opinion, wants to say Barry did something illegal, fine, but what about these guys, too?

[maxorlov1976]

whats that nonsense? steroids are used by most if not all competing athletes in different sports! enough lies! just allow steroids and many other medicines that help people and athletes instead of shouting that its evil. its one's choice. i take roids. and valium and moprphine when i need to. legality doesnt bother me. enough comformity and idiocy. if alcohol is allowed and if cigarettes are, then why not roids or valium?

[TeamCrusade]

If you work out for fun and like taking roids, go ahead, enjoy your self. If you are in team where you compete with no roids users, then the roids give you an unfair advantage. Its like you and me boxing. I fight with only my shorts and gloves, but you are wearing brass nuckels and padding.

[maxorlov1976]

who said others in team do not use roids? sports for fun do not include roids, but competitive sports cant be clean. since steroids exist, they will be used. and, just to make it easier on everyone, roids should not be in WADA book. or WADA should not exist. no world record is clean

[maxorlov1976]

look at your id. you obviously are an American nationalist. and for some reasons many americans (not all) believe in fair game while i have not seen many fair games by them... its a weird thing that a country with best bodybuilders doesnt allow steroids. then how did they become best bodybuilders? vitamin b and protein shake?

[oldkings]

it's not about steroids well it is sort of the point is that he lied in court if he admitted to taking steroids there would be far less consequences than lying

[maxorlov1976]

he lied because its a whole system of hypocrisy. as long as you lie you stay in game. nobody should ever question athletes regarding steroids

[sinoftheangels]

If barry gets in, so should I, and i have never played the game.

[hokiesmarooneffect]

If Barry gets in the HOF, then so should Pete Rose.

[dantej32]

rose BET ON BASEBALL AND HIS OWN GAMES. That has been proven. Has sterooid use been proven? Has he ever tested positive> has bond's admitted it's use? Why is he still cranking them out. There is no comparison.

[hokiesmarooneffect]

They also have no proof OJ is a murderer, but without proof, it's still likely because he threatened to kill himself and he had marital problems. Bonds has a bigger head, a bigger frame, and a bigger ego even though he's older.

And yes, I can totally compare the two.

[dantej32]

always had an ego. I think the bigger head is from HGH. steroids were not a banned substance. he has not gone to jail nor has he been suspended from ML baseball. YET you want him banned from the HOF.

[sseedragon]

The problem is that ML test steroids use through urine test but HGH can only be discovered through a blood test. That is why Barry has never tested positive for steroids. Geee people, its ML fault for not updating there testing policies ...

[sugarydonkey]

They have a pile of evidence that OJ is guilty. Just happened that they framed a guilty man.

[maxorlov1976]

what are his crimes? he committed no murder or theft . all he did is trying to be the best in the game. its just happened they framed him. if they would have framed someone else, the test would have been positive too

[Shaunton1]

How do you know he took roids? If he did they would have tried him by now! Where were you when Mark Mcguire "Pumped of steroid ass" broke the single season home run record?! Celebrating! Talk about a man that been at the top of the game for years (20 yrs)! You my not like him personally but he is one of the greastest to ever play the game of base ball!

[acidtones1]

Bonds is a loser. Steroids are for pussies.

[KermitKid]

There are some sacrifices that athletes at some levels have to make to stay at the top or climb even higher. The choise to take steroids doesn't make any man or woman a pussy.

[hokiesmarooneffect]

Yhea, but even in that situation it takes courage to not conform which Barry lacks
