Byrd

I hope you didn't just imply that Byrd and Bonds were the same, because you know better. First of all, HGH isn't the real issue because it wasn't banned by baseball until 2004 or 2005. So I really don't care that Bonds took HGH. And don't tell me "accused" as if Bonds didn't take steroids, because he did. The evidence is overwhelming. Also don't tell me that he has passed every test, because they didn't start testing until 2004. His trainer when to JAIL for administering illegal performance substances. The trainer did not roll over on Bonds, or Barry would already be out of baseball or in jail himself. The feds are building a case, as we know. Now, as to Roger Clemens, I wouldn't doubt it. But don't act like Barry didn't take steroids, because he did, and don't act like steroids isn't cheating, because it is, and don't act like Byrd and Bonds are the same, because they aren't even close.

1. Bonds has taken way more than HGH.

2. Bonds has lied about it.

3. Bonds trainer when to jail.

4. Byrd was recovering from a devastating injury that nearly ruined his career, that is when he developed that crazy windup. Byrd was using it under prescription and stopped before baseball even banned it.

5. I don't care that Babe Ruth womanized and Ty Cobb was a jerk. That didn't affect the way the game is played. I mean, Michael Irvin got into the Football Hall of Fame, and he is the worst person ever to live.
