(2) his body type changed
(3) he was indicted
(4) Sheffield admits he got steriods from him
(5) his homerun output doubled at a time when traditional home runs decrease
(6) it is all documented in a book written by award winning journalists
(7) his buddy is in jail because he refuse to testify ...[text shortened]... "convicted" of cheating and whether you like it or not cheating taints their accomplishments.
(1) his head size grew
Did you know that changes in the manufacturing process of apparel often changes the effective sizes of their products? When the report first surfaced that Barry Bonds head grew based upon the fact someone noticed he needed a larger size hat, there needed to be a follow-up to check if other players also found they needed larger sizes due to changes with the hat manufacturing. I've personally experienced this with my Kangol caps one year when I suddenly had to increase my hat size within their line of products.
(2) his body type changed
Some guys are always sinewy, but other men naturally add bulk muscle as they age. For example, compare the early body types with the late body types of Karl Malone and Dennis Rodman who didn't reach their maximum bulk muscle until their late 30's.
(3) he was indicted
If there have been recent developments that I'm not aware of, I apologize in advance, but I was only aware that there was a 6-month extension in the investigation possibly leading to an indictment of Barry Bonds. And even if this indictment were to finally happen, it is an indictment on Perjury and Tax Evasion, not on steroids, so Barry is still clearly innocent of steroid use.
(4) Sheffield admits he got steroids from him
Like anyone can trust the testimony of a steroid user.
(5) his homerun output doubled at a time when traditional home runs decrease
Greatness defies the ordinary.
(6) it is all documented in a book written by award winning journalists
Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru-Wada are no Hunter S Thomson and Ralph Steadman. Williams and Fainaru-Wada, hippie agitators for the San Francisco CHRONIC(le), were sentenced to 18 months for contempt of court. Even the judge could tell that these ne'er-do-wells were smearing the good name of Barry Bonds, Baseball, and America!
(7) his buddy is in jail because he refused to testify truthfully about his dealings with Bonds
Greg Anderson, Bonds' trainer, wouldn't bow down to pressure from The Man in this witch hunt.
NO JUSTICE. NO PEACE. FREE BARRY BONDS.
