Re: Barry Bonds: Indicted

Re: Barry Bonds: Indicted

I'm really not sure what to think about Barry Bonds right now. I WANT to believe he didn't know he was taking steroids but i guess there is some evidence that says he knew about it?

If he did take steroids, then he should be ashamed of himself. if not, everyone should honor the legend

Re: Barry Bonds: Indicted

there were i think 4 counts of perjury and each carries a sentence of up to 5 years. im a giants fan myself and dont want to think he took steroids, but its kind of hard to deny he did.

Re: Barry Bonds: Indicted

4 counts of Perjury (each count is 5 years each) and 1 count Obstruction of Justice (each count is 10 years each).

Re: Barry Bonds: Indicted

Yes...but if you had listened to what they were talking about on SC, this is his first offense, its highly unlikely he is getting pegged with 30 years, theres a chance he wont get hit with anything, who knows. Even if he took roids, he was still better than all the people that took roids anyway, so in essence, he is still one of the greatest players no matter what happens

Re: Barry Bonds: Indicted

Except he cheated, which makes him automatically worse than any non-cheating player.

Re: Barry Bonds: Indicted

finally, lock him up for cheating, and wipe his records away and make MORE STEROID TESTING DUH

Re: Barry Bonds: Indicted

bonds deserves it! he sucks and he uses steroids b4 every game

[MarukuAntoni]

Re: Barry Bonds: Indicted

sexyinpink, i guess you dont listen to sports news much. you just assume he did it. he probably did take steroids, but what new evidence couldve they gotten in those past several years? they say they have new evidence but have yet to see any. many others in the sports world have cheated and you dont see asterisks or them being locked up. jose canseco in his book said that about 80% of other sports players were testing drugs so why not put asterisks through 80% of the records or lets just throw them in jail. also, i dont see what more steroids testing will do. the random ones are just fine.
what sickens me more is that this justice system has more time for these high-profile athletes and spend less time on others.

Re: Barry Bonds: Indicted

Perjury and obstruction of justice? I'm glad to hear of an indictment, but I don't have too much faith in a conviction after Clinton was somehow able to avoid it.

Amen. He souldnt hold any record IMO. The players of the 1960s rule. Mantle and Hank Aaron are wwaaayyyy better
