Bonds cheated. Strip him of home run record?

Hear, hear!

It wasn't quite a problem back then as steroids is now.

The people around then seem to think it was just as big a deal then as steroids are now. Popping pills before every game is a pretty big deal, no?

People back then also thought inter-racial marriage was a threat to civilization and that reefer madness was true... so take stuff from that era with a grain of salt

So thoughts of people during that era makes the facts that people saw things going on less likely to be true?

Were you listening to the SCORE this morning. I heard the same thing on Murphy in the Morning.

Ming, that refrerence to Score (whatever that is) does seem to indicate that the debate on this issue has begun in places other than Apolyton. That is healthy.

[Ming]

The SCORE = WSCR, the Chicago Sports Radio station. Sava is also a listener. The same comment was made this morning, so was just wondering if he had been listening as well

This may be the dumbest thing I've ever read...

Is it steroids or sour grapes?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Oh yeah... Wiley blames EVERYTHING on racism. Best not to read him at all.

As to the records of Bonds etc., part of the thrill was the thought that they were doing the "impossible." Now that the truth is out that they cheated, people are going to be angry about what happened and are going to be highly suspicious of anyone on a record pace. I think Bonds is going to be roundly booed this season. The powers that be who think that ignoring the problem of cheated records are going to have a shock when the seanson opens and the fans show how they feel about this.

Now that the truth is out that they cheated

No one cheated. If it isn't against the rules, it isn't cheating.

Then why, my dear Imran, do they hide it?

Because it's against the law... which is different than the rules of baseball.

Are we still on this inane tangent? The real question you people should be asking is weather or not the steroid use calls into question the validity of the records he obtained while using them. If you feel they do, then an * next to them is the least he deserves.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I don't... because they've been using supplements for years and years.
