[domeyeahaigh]

I dont know but I will find out.Plz wait by the phone

Props for not snitching. If he had broken under the government pressure and named names there would have been many individuals and families ruined. 2 years probation is nothing. However, there have been steroid cases where probation was handed down with conditions including not using steroids or any other drugs. Cant remember the individual but they actually tested him for steroids and he failed and served a jail sentence rather than probation.

[Sgt. Hartman]

I wonder how much taxpayer money the gov't spent in total on prosecuting this dangerous criminal and bringing him to justice.

[spiketannin]

i kinda disagree with all your statements i dont believe this was a waste of time or money.. this guy broke records yall,, bigtime records, if i was hank aaron or his family or any other non juicer i would say thank god justice has been served,, i actually thought he got off pretty light with no jail time.

[Hoggage_54]

Biggest waste of money ever... like when the US government went after Tommy Chong for selling a bong over the internet, which cost US taxpayers $15 million.

You're missing the point altogether. What business is it of the federal gov't whether or not players of professional sports, which is the private sector, take steroids or not. He should not be scrutinized or held to any higher standards or punishment than the average gym goer using AAS would. If MLB wants to impose some kind of penalty or delete his records than so be it but it should have nothing to do with my tax dollars or the fed gov't.

Also, think about how popular MLB became when McGwire and Sosa were both chasing the homerun record (both on steroids). Everywhere they played was sold out and broke most previous attendance records as well as tv viewing records. The same thing happened when Bonds was about to break the record all over again. How was this a bad thing for baseball?

All in all, it was a great thing for baseball, it rejuvenated the sport and spiked revenue like never before, and I could give a fvck less about Aaron's or Ruth's or anybody else's records.

[jimmyinkedup]

MLB should have handled this - not congress or the supreme court.
Yes he pujured himself- but the hearings never should have taken place.
Are there congressional hearings everytime a bunch of guys use drugs at their job ? Thats what this amounts too....
Dog and fvcking pony show.....

[jimmyinkedup]

Oh and should he go to jail...well given the facts the hearings did take place...and he did lie - yes he should.
Hes lucky he only got what he did- 1 month house arrest is NOT jail...and any retard can walk off 2 years probation- he prob wont even have to report.
But again the whole thing is bs and should have never taken place.

[JohnnyVegas]

Personally, I struggle with this issue. I would probably lie if someone asked me if I took steroids . People hint about it when I post pics on Facebook, and since it is out where everyone can see it, I talk about good diet, hundreds of chickens, hours in the gym...It is tough when guys are doing something illegal AND frowned upon by the public.

BUT, once it gets elevated to obstruction of justice or perjury, I would consider telling the truth.

[songdog]

Guys like McGwire an Sosa brought life back to a dieing sport.Now the coke snorting cigerette smoking sports writers will never vote them in.They never could prove Bonds lied but they supected it.Who cares wat a waste of gov money.

[Brohim]

so Clinton can lie but Bonds can't

[bigdavevegas]

Should have never been govt involvement to begin with
