At first it looked like we had another white sacrificial
lamb on our hands, but the other shoe quickly
dropped. What about Bonds saying that he thought
one of the things that Anderson gave him- maybe the
THG- was flaxseed oil? Yeah, that's really
believable. Giambi said that he and Anderson may
have never had a conversation about it being
steroids, but that they both knew what it was. That
sounds more realistic.
Regardless, they're both cheaters and I'm glad
nobody can reasonably deny it now. Before, Barry
Bonds supporters would just say that there was no
direct proof. Well, there was, we just didn't know
about it until now. There was so much
circumstantial evidence surrounding Bonds, but now
we have his own words. I wonder if they'll still say
that steroids don't help with hitting homers. It's all
hand-eye coordination, man! Yeah right, fast twitch
muscle fiber is of no use to power hitters. Sure. Or
maybe they'll take a different angle and just say that it
doesn't matter, he's still the greatest player ever. Or
they'll say that other great players were cheaters too,
so it's okay. Or they'll say that we're all cheaters, and
therefore hypocrites. Yeah, that sounds about right.
All the records he breaks are meaningless- even if
"unofficially". Maybe it wasn't against MLB rules at
the time, but he still took it, and that will forever
tarnish his "legacy" (if you can call it that). And just
because steroids weren't illegal at the time doesn't
mean that it's okay to take them. How about being a
good sportsman and making a personal decision to
not take steroids? Do we all have to be forced to do
the right thing? Should we defend slavery just
because it was "legal" at the time? Of course not. It
was a violation of human rights regardless of
whether it's legal or illegal.
So even if he still "officially" breaks the home run
record, deep down we'll all know it's a lie. That's
what matters more than what's written on paper. We
all know he wouldn't have caught Ruth or Aaron
without drugs.
And as an added bonus, we have Conte saying that
Marion Jones shot up HGH right in front of him.
