I still dont think we should take this book to be the "proof", maybe it's just naivety (sp?) on my part, but we have to check it out fully. Anyone can say something and it can gather steam even if it's not entirely true.

True, anyone can say something but not everyone can get something published without the proper sources to back up the statements made in this book.

I thought he already admitted to using the cream and the clear, but said he sheepishly didn't know they were steroids.

It's a little harder to play dumb when you're sticking a needle in your ***.

The tabloids do it all the time.

Re: More Barry Bonds steroids stuff on ESPN radia right now

Let me just add something about the time it has taken for these authors to publish the book.

1) As was noted previously most of the information has been sealed up for some time. I'm sure once they were publicized that the authors used the FOI act to obtain them.

2) The culture of San Fran sports reporting is just as bad as the fans as 90% of the sports media is behind Bonds on just about everything. In fact the San Fran media covering things up and apologizing for Bonds has been happening since his 2nd year there when he was in a domestic abuse situation.


Another thing that just shocks me is that his trainer (I think) once told him that he had done all the cycles he needed to do in terms of enhancers and told Bonds that he wouldn't help him anymore and then Bonds says "F Off! I'll do it myself". It seems to me that Bonds has become addicted to these things.

He won't live past 55.

The tabloids do it all the time.

And when they do, they have been sued successfully.

The thing is, believe it or not, a lot of times the tabloids actually do publish truth. Not about aliens and crap, but about celebritys. If it is the truth, then they can't get sued. But in cases where they were lieing I've seen them get busted. But I've also seen them stand behind other stories and INVITE lawsuits. Yet nobody did. The story usually goes away. If you try to sue, it will drag on in court and the media for long time. And if you lose, you've only proven the tab was right.

Except this isn't a tabloid. It's a book, published by a major publishing company. If they publish something like this not backed up by facts, they would be liable in a lawsuit, yet Barry won't sue in this case. I wonder why.

True, Is it possible to sue the newspapers for slander as well? Are they under the same category as the tabloids?

You can sue any publication for slander. It isn't just for tabloids.

That's what I figured.

However, the tabloids aren't backed by publishing companies like Gotham -- which is owned by Penguin, one of the largest publishing companies in the world.

Remember the wrestler Superstar Billy Graham. He had his legs amputated due to roids and eventually died. That might happen to Barry US Roids. Stand up and take a bow Bud Selig. You should be proud of what you let go on.

Um, Billy Graham is still alive. His legs aren't amputated. He's had numerous knee and hip replacement surgeries tho. He's actually in pretty good shape these days.

I'm at the stage of Bonds hate where if it was rumored he killed a litter of kittens, I'd believe it. So this is just gravy
