If you think about it, the whole issue is a double-edged sword for them. On the one hand, they desperately want to portray a clean, inspiring image, to be the good role models for the children. On the other hand, they know that without action, revenues will be down: fewer home runs = less excitement = fewer fans. That's probably why they haven't taken a hard-line stance, even with congressional pressure on them, IMO.
DJ? Can you change records that ones getting old...tyvm >:D
Oh my..... :-*

Anybody watch "Bonds on Bonds" last night on ESPN? It was so horrible. IMHO he's desperately trying to salvage what's left of his reputation..get people to feel sorry for him. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.
I can't stand this guy, but I have to respect him. Personally, I blame MLB for not taking a stance on steroids/performance enhancers sooner. Ball players have been using amphetamines for decades I guess.

If they honestly took time to look in his medical records they would see in stead of stalking him makes no sence because it just makes him refuse to talk to them. :o

You want to read the book? you go see and then tell me its not false and it was reported that the publisher is a scamm artist looking for money. They didn't make any money of this book.
You do know that it wasn't the guys writing the book that came up with the info for it? They didn't go around stalking Bonds trying to get him to talk or catch him using or whatever. BALCO were the ones that kept all the statistics of his use.. these reporters only got ahold of the info from BALCO, and other places, and used that info for the makings of the book.
"BALCO, the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative founded by Victor Conte, kept track of Bonds' drug use in detail, with folders and calendars that chronicled everything from schedules and quantities to his testosterone levels. Much of that information was obtained by federal agents when they raided the lab in September 2003."
"The Chronicle reporters, who based the book on a two-year investigation, included an extensive summary on their sources, including court documents, affidavits filed by BALCO investigators, documents written by federal agents, grand jury testimony, audio recordings and interviews with more than 200 people."
As for the book making money:
"NEW YORK (AP) - Sneak previews of a book alleging Barry Bonds was a frequent user of steroids have apparently left readers wanting to know more: "Game of Shadows" jumped into the top 10 on both Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com after excerpts were released earlier this week.
According to publisher Gotham Books, an imprint of Penguin Group (USA), a first printing of 50,000 has already been increased nearly fourfold, to 197,000. The book's original March 27 publication date has been moved to March 23, Gotham publicist Beth Parker said Thursday."
