Steroids Barry
So it begins.
I agree with Barry Bonds who consider the steroids question a full-blown Witch Hunt. Yet even if "Have you at any time taken steroids" becomes the theater of the absurd question of the summer, Bonds only has himself to blame.
Sure Greg Anderson and Bonds go back to high school and they have strong ties that bind. But even if Bonds is clean, he's still exposing brethren baseball players to a guy who is as unsavory as they come. Anderson's lawyer, the erstwhile Tony Serra, in defense of Bonds says that he was offered illegal substances and turned them down, so it's not like he didn't know what Anderson is up to. One must wonder if Bonds ever considered what business Anderson was doing in the Giants dugout, or on the Japan All-Star trip in 2000 and 2002.
At best Barry is the Typhoid Mary of Major League Baseball, exposing the 'clean' around the league. At worst, he's a 'roided out pusher's assistant.
