With all the ball players caught lying about their steroid use why is it that Barry Bonds is the one to go to jail?

reply
Anna 2011/04/14 05:12:13

Yes

He really didn't do bad; it's unlikely to ever happen again. I can't say the jail action was justice. Anyways, fine

Mr. Bonds was found guilty by a jury of his peers. One may not like the American justice system but we must respect that process! Some places will cut off a hand or a foot.

Our Justice Department apparently has nothing better to do. The BP oil spill occurred because BP decided that following the saftey regulations would reduce teir profit margin from 200% to 190%and federal employees who were supposed to conduct inspections didn't bother inspecting. They just signed off on whatever BP submitted. There have been no investigations of that. No grand jury convened, no prosecutions. Eric Holder is too busy worrying about what drugs the baseball players are taking.

I dont' get it, he's guilty of lying, but not guilty of lying...

Guilty on 1 of 24 counts. What a complete waste of taxpayer money - Congressional investigations, FBI, Courts, Attorneys - Absurd, absolutely absurd. MLB issues nothing more or less - who the heck cares. Maybe this is one of the stupid wastes we can get rid of in spending.

It's about damn time. This steroid pumping Prima Donna has been wasting headline space for far too long. Is it just me or did anyone notice the SF Giants finally became a Team instead of Barry and Co. when this douche bag retired?

It was well known that Bonds used steroids. Why they had to make a public spectacle out of him is beyond me. Why didn't they go after Sammy Sosa, or Mark McGuire, or Jose Canseco. or Manny Ramirez? When people are accused of any wrongdoing, their first reaction will be to deny it. This was a waste of time and money to pursue Bonds like this.

Barry Bonds was railroaded and only found guilty of one trumped up charge. The player that started all this nonsense is a first class dipstick and a jealous loser as well. Jose No Balls Canseco is an admitted steroid user that called out many other players without an ounce of proof.

The commissioner of baseball told the grand jury he didn't know the players were taking steroids.he's obviously lying.Why no perjury case for him?

Joey to Tooshy 2011/04/14 18:50:29

It was because he is black.

How about a asterisk in front of everyone before Jackie Roberson.. since some of the best players were not allowed to play.
