Easier answer for Bonds. If it's false, he should sue them for libel. He's got the money to bankroll a litigation, and it should be pretty easy to prove that what's written in the book is false -- for example, that the records they say exist do not exist in reality.

Wrong. In order to win the case for label, not only does he has to prove it false, he has to prove that these guys actually knew it was false when they wrote it, and wrote it maliciously. That is very, very hard to prove.

This is correct. Also, I am sure that the writers (from the SF Chronicle, right?) have good lawyers and have looked into this. They would have to be very stupid to expose themselves to this threat.
