Barry Bonds is finally charged for lying for taking steriods to the grand jury investing the BALCO scandal in San Fransico. We all know that he's on the juice. What do you think?

*************************************************!!!

This is what I think:
Who the hell did not see that coming? That cheating SOB has finally got his comeuppance for tainting the record books by shooting illegal drugs up his tuchus!
-
All the Records Set by this Low Life Cheater should be Null and Void.
-
All of his records* will have an asterisk* next to it.
Barry Bonds*
Record for most Home Runs*
*Loser druggie

Seems kind of stupid though that what they are getting him for is lying to some federal investigator. The federal government lies to everyone all the time.....it's a case of do what we say, not what we do.
If they really want to do something about this situation they should make him pay back all the money he made in baseball while he was cheating, that would make a lot of players think twice about bending the rules.
-
I think the wait was intentional to allow him to break the all-time home-run record.
There were discussions last off-season about whether he would get indicted but it didn't happen and he was allowed to play this past seaosn.
-
How did the federal government get involved with a grand jury?
-
If Bonds is INNOCENT of these charges than it's Clear that No Black Man can be Convicted in America for Anything Anymore!
-No matter the amount of evidence present against you, there's a jury out there that won't see it. ^-^

First off, Yacov, I'm sorry you have to deal with a "diversity teacher." Barry Bonds is by all accounts a piece of garbage, but truth be told I think it is a waste of time to indict him for lying about using steroids. He'll probably get off in the end anyway and it will just be a big waste of time and money. It's pretty well understood at this point that pretty much every big slugger of the last 20 years or so was probably on the juice at some point of their careers. Unfortunately, it seems people cheat at every walk of life.
-
The federal government was involved because it was their investagation. Balco gave steriods to athlets all over the country.
-
Bonds is being used as a "Weapon of Mass Distraction" to cover the actual goings on of the Bush Administration and State Department.
Why now?....after almost five years?
The answer is my first statement above.
Today, steroid use is to be found everywhere.
Our fighting soldiers in Iraq & Afghanistan regularly share needles and inject each other prior to engaging in action.
This is done with the full knowledge (and looking the other way) of our Federal Government and U.S. Armed Forces.
Across the U.S. high school and even Jr. High coaches regularly supply their athletic teams with steroids...teaching them how to inject properly, etc...
Wherever any activities involving exercise, body building, and sports are found, steroid use is rampant and an "open secret".
I personally strongly disapprove of steroid usage, and in no way condone steroids for any other than legitimate medical use.
However, indicting Barry Bonds for "perjury and false statements to Federal Government Agents", while thousands and thousands of others are using steroids regularly every day (and make no mistake about it -- they include the relatives and children of our Legislators and Law Enforcement Officers) amounts to "Selective Justice", which is supposedly something non-existent in the United States.
Now do you see how he was used as a "Weapon of Mass Distraction"?
Those not following every move in his criminal case, are discussing it here on this forum.
That means we're not busy paying attention to Condi Rice's and Bush's War Against the Jew taking place in Annapolis.

That cheater should be banned from the Hall of Fame
-
I don't think Bonds specifically is being used as a "weapon of mass distraction" but sports are used for that in general. I think that the government is making a big deal out of Barry Bonds because they know that lots of people are outraged with steroid use in sports because it destroys their pristine belief in pure competition and sportsmanship, and the government knows that if it doesn't crack down on Barry Bonds, people will become more disenchanted with professional and college sports, meaning that 1) professional sports will become less profitable and the government won't be able to reap the amount of taxes that it currently does from professional sports, and 2) sports will cease to be such a powerful means of distraction meaning there will be many drunken, disaffected men with no way to vent their anger except against the government.

So you don't believe MLB had any say in the matter? You don't believe it was they who wanted to delay it until after he broke Hank Aaron's record?

I think it was about a month ago when Marion Jones announced that she used steroids so I think she had to give back the medals that she had previously won.

Bonds went free agent. I don't think he will get an offer from anyone. He also won't get into the hall of fame because we all know he cheated.

Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath about that. Given all that's happened in sports over the last couple of decades, people have had many opportunities to be outraged and yet they continue paying exorbitant amounts of money to attend sporting events and to watch them on television.

My Diversity teacher said that he thinks the government has more important things to take care of then indict someone for steroids.
For once I agree with you Yaacov... or at least I agree with your teacher.
