Bonds Update

Is it really a big deal that the chemist who created the "clear" is saying Barry Bonds used steroids? I don't think it is. I don't think many people don't think Bonds used steroids at some point. The real question, which is not answered by this chemist, is whether or not Bonds knew he was doing steroids when he was on the routine that, apparently, included the "cream" and the "clear."

And, staying with the hypocrisy theme from the NBA officiating scandal, why isn't there more focus on the other person named by the chemist? In my opinion, Gary Sheffield is a bigger pain in the ass than Bonds. Maybe the reason Bonds has only played for 2 teams in his career, while Sheffield has bounced around to seven teams (Milwaukee - San Diego - Florida - Los Angeles - Atlanta - New York - Detroit) is that Bonds is the better player, but could it also be that Sheffield is just as surly and spouts crap to the media about the lack of African Americans in MLB and Joe Torre's treatment of African Americans? It's hypocritical to be up in arms over Bonds if you aren't going to hold everyone else to the same standard ... Jason Giambi won comeback player of the year!
