During the criminal investigation, evidence was obtained including positive tests for the use of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing substances for Bonds and other professional athletes

[/ QUOTE ]

Wait what? WTF is that doing in there and how could it possibly relate to Bonds?

[/ QUOTE ]

Its a preemptive attempt to diffuse the criticism that this investigation has always been a witch hunt against Barry Bonds, which has been a key talking point for Bonds' attorneys and will continue to be a theme of the defense going forward, by suggesting Bonds was but one of a multitude of individuals who were investigated.

1000%. Only way this doesn't go to trial is if it gets dismissed first. No way Bonds pleas.

Re: Barry Bonds indicted
 

Greg Anderson was released from prison today.

he must have decided to give evidence against Bonds?

Actually I think it was because Bonds is the only athlete who they questioned about steroid use who denied it.

Can the feds back down now? Can bonds?

I think both are likely no no, which means a high probability of a trainwreck.

His blood tested positive for perjury. He's gonna hang 20yrs to life.

[/ QUOTE ]

lol seriously.

anyways, isn't whether he tested positive or not for steroids irrelevant in this matter because he would simply claim what he always has, that he unknowingly took them?

only way to really get bonds is if greg anderson or someone in that circle comes forward and starts squealing.

Does this mean ESPN is going to be unwatchable for a good 6 months? I don't want this to ruin all the football games they put on by having a ESPN sportscenter moment for the next year.

preemptive strike on "ESPN is already unwatchable," you all know you watch it.

Re: Barry Bonds indicted
 

Dear All Media,

Please stop adding all the maximum penalties together and saying "ZOMG BONDS FACING 30 YEARS!!!!!" There is no way he ever gets sentenced to anything approaching that much time.

Re: Barry Bonds indicted
 

this goverment is a [censored] joke

Re: Barry Bonds indicted
 

Not that it means much but:

Anderson's attorney, Mark Geragos, said the trainer didn't cooperate with the grand jury that indicted Bonds.

"This indictment came out of left field," Geragos said. "Frankly I'm aghast. It looks like the government misled me and Greg as well, saying this case couldn't go forward without him."

Re: Barry Bonds indicted
 

Ya send him to jail for 30 years! That'll show the tax payers!

Re: Barry Bonds indicted
 

Oh and should everything Jose Canseco says in the future to be taken as complete and utter truth? For all the Bonds haters I feel like they should become Canseco followers.

Anyone who thinks Bonds is innocent should be tested for Crazy Pills.

Re: Barry Bonds indicted
 

lol Stephen A Smith: "Race is definitely a huge factor here. It's not a coincidence this case was brought after Mark McGwire's retirement."

WTF, please permaban this clown from ESPN and all other media.

Re: Barry Bonds indicted
 

I think the odds of a trial being thrown around are WAY high. Unless and until we (and Barry's legal team) know more about the evidence the government has it's really impossible to predict. If he's facing certain jail time and can reduce it by pleading out of course he'll cop a plea.

an indictment is just charges being brought against him - he hasn't been found guilty of anything yet.

if he's found guilty, I dunno...seems silly for him to go to prison; but at the same time you can't really have guys lying to grand juries and get away with it

This just in:

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- A potential suicide jumper who has spent the past half hour weeping uncontrollably has snarled traffic on the Bay Bridge.

Due to his marked despair, police have been unable to communicate with the young man, who has been identified only as "Red Bean" and who is wearing nothing but a Barry Bonds jersey and what appear to be Superman underoos.

More information as it develops.
