    Actually, he said under oath that he was rubbing what he thought was -- or, what he was told was -- flaxseed oil on his legs. Which is why the Feds are having to bust so much rock to get an indictment.
    I'd rather be careful on this than simply take the word of a convicted felon who tells Bob Costas what Costas so desperately wants to hear.

    Nope, you're free to look at this in its totality and say, "He's a convicted felon. And because of that I won't believe a word he's saying."

    I have looked at it in its totality and find what he said way more believable than what Victor Conte or Gary Sheffield or Barry Bonds have to say.

    That has nothing to do with whether anyone puts him under oath; or for whatever reason you want to put him under oath. I don't even understand why legal preceedings are the end-all for some people about just getting the simple truth that Barry Bonds used performance-enhancing drugs out in the open--without people lying about it or looking for every reason to deny the obvious.

    It is what it is. And that is all Patrick Arnold seemed to be saying.

    I still love you Fenian ... and not just because I think I might be able to sell you the Brooklyn Bridge ;)

    Yeah, I'm the naive one.
    As opposed to the mature, worldwise EVERYBODY KNOWS school of journalism.

    As long as you remember it next time I am rounding a posse. You know, we have lots of witches to catch, and we heard there is one living in your neighborhood.

    That's how Barry Bonds ended up in his mess, too.

    my question for any person who says bonds never used massive PEDs (or might not have) is: why is the anderson chap still serving time in prison? why?

    if bonds didn't have anything to hide, why would anderson?

    I say we just get Russ Springer all 'roided up and have him pitch to Bonds anytime that lying, self-serving, egotistical piece of dogshit comes up to bat.

    Without the elbow guard.


    Without the helmet.

    Didn't he say that he rubbed the cream on his legs and the clear, he orally took, was flaxseed oil?

    And isn't it also true that both Bonds and Sheffield admitted to taking steroids, but denied knowingly taking steroids?
