Barry Bonds’ psuedo denial
Because of the recent rash of ex-players’ accusing current players of steroids use, Barry Bonds has been asked about the possibility of his own steroid use. Barry’s responses are less than reassuring:
“Baseball is hand-eye coordination. I don’t care how big you get, it’s not going to guarantee that you hit a home run. You can be 150 pounds and still hit the ball 330 feet.
It doesn’t guarantee a home run, sure, but could it make the difference between a fly ball in the warning track and a home run? I think if there was a drug that improved reaction time or hand-eye coordination, a lot of athletes would take that, too.
“Anyone in San Francisco knows I train five days a week. If anyone goes to Stanford at 7 a.m., they will see me on that track. And in December and January, you will see me at Pac Bell every day at 8:30 a.m. five days a week. I’ve been doing this for 12 years.”
No one is accusing you of being lazy, pal. Steroids only help if they are combined with exercise.
In a later interview Bonds continues:
“Doctors ought to quit worrying about what ballplayers are taking,” Bonds told The Associated Press last week. ”What players take doesn’t matter. It’s nobody else’s business.”
Perhaps he meant lab techs; I’ve never seen a doctor at a drug test. And perhaps the doctors are concerned about preventing cancer. It’s just one of the many side effects of anabolic steroids.

I was hypnotized by Barry Bond’s the last two seasons. I told my 20 year old son we were priviledged to watch a guy who may be the game’s best. I lied to my son. Bonds has cheated. The game that’s banned Joe Jackson, put an asterisk beside Roger Maris 61st homerun, and refuses readmission to Pete Rose must purge Bonds and probably Giambi and Clemens too from its pantheon.
more park sausages mom,PLEASE
Bonds is a lier. You don’t jump from 30 homers your whole career 15 seasons or so and then all of a sudden figure out how to hit for over twice as much power and jack 72 homers. Not to mention the product he endorses and takes IS a steroid. Sosa might use cork once in a while but thats better then steroids ALL the time
Barry Bonds is the face of all that is evil in baseball. It’s sickening to hear him say that doctors shouldn’t worry about what ballplayers are taking. Number one, he’s implying that he himself is already on steroids. Secondly, he’s proving what a self-serving psychopathic jerk he truly is. And to Austin James, don’t kid yourself. Sosa is on the juice as well, I mean come on, the guy looks like he’s one step shy of becoming a jungle gorilla.
BOnds is a baller
