Sheffield all but fingers Bonds

Oh, but NO! Nowhere does it actually say that Bonds used steroids! I'm sure
that Those Balco guys were just making sure he was propperly nourished.

Didn't stop Turk Wendell from going on about how he somehow "knew"
that Bonds is using steroids. Or Andy Van Slyke. Too bad one of those
guys doesn't even know Bonds, and the other knew him over a decade
ago. Until someone who actually has any way of knowing says Bonds used
steroids, or there's any real evidence (guilt-by-association, hearsay,
and I-think-he-must-have don't count, sorry), I think it's only fair
to withhold judgment. Of course, most fans have no inclination to be
fair towards Barry Bonds - they made up their mind about him long ago,
and little will change that. So I'm not holding my breath.

Why is it so difficult to believe? If I am a ballplayer and a company
tells me it can provide me with tailor made nutrition specific to my
blood type and body type, etc., I'd go for it too. That's what Sheff
said in the article. And we all know Bonds is a freak in nutrition.
He's got his own nutritionist!

Hey, fair enough. I believe in innocent until proven guilty as much as the
next guy. But some people are above the law. Many of them hapen to be
professional athletes. This is just the way it works. Barry Bonds is never
going to have to answer hard questions about his drug use. He's never going
to have to take any kind of drug test worth giving. The man is protected
from up on high by the prince of darkness (Major League Baseball). Nothing's
ever going to stick, so he'll be perpetually innocent.

Scheffield's anecdote isn't damning, but it's certainly worth mentioning and
wondering about.

More interesting to me than the strong associations with known drug
providers was the overwhelming conclusion that Bonds is complete dick.
Interesting, not surprising. That and the fact that he stole Sheff's Chef.
Classic!

More interesting to me than your weak ass reasoning and petty jealousy
is the overwhelming conclusion that you are a complete moron.
Interesting, not surprising.

Jealousy? I'm not a ballplayer. I'm on my way to getting what I want out of
life. Jealousy doesn't become me. If anything, I feel sorry for the guy. He
should be able to take any kind of drug that he wants in plain view of
everyone and not be ashamed of it. Because of social conventions and his
obligations to keeping you, his adoring fans, living in this dreamworld for
another seventy home runs or so; the guy has to be candid about his drug use
and pretend like it isn't going on.
I say let 'em all use drugs. Why the hell not? It's the endless denial that
the fans are forced to swallow that bothers me.

Because it gives drug users an unfair competitive advantage. Duh.
