Bonds Cannot be Suspended
Mar 09, 2006 | 5:00PM | report this

The speculation that Barry Bonds may be suspended by Bud Selig is absurd. MLB could have concrete evidence that Bonds used roids during his record setting season and there would still be no suspension. All of these reports, (which probably have a lot of truth to them), do nothing but shed light on the fact that Bonds is a liar. What they do not do, is give Selig recourse for an suspension. How do you suspend a guy for "allegedly" taking steroids BEFORE they were outlawed in baseball? What if I was cited with a violation for smoking in a bar last year... 6 months before it was deemed illegal? Bond's lawyers would eat this up if a suspension comes. It will be the easiest case of their lives.

And yes, Bonds is a liar. What do you want him to do? Admit that he used performance enhancing drugs? Do we we really want kids to hear him say that? This guy is one of the greatest athletes of all time. We don't need kids thinking that drugs are the way to get to his level. Everyone needs to drop this whole steroids thing. They are now banned in baseball...testing is ongoing and seems to be thorough...leave the past in the past and move on to the next issue. If Bonds tests positive for something in the future, feel free to attack.

Steroids were banned by baseball in 1991.

That said I agree with you. He won't be suspended becasue Bonds hasn't tested positive.

Seriously? I've never heard that. Why would they ban something and not test for it? That's like setting up a speed limit of 65 and never patrolling the area with radar guns

Just found some info on this. Last sentence of the article is:

"Baseball did not ban performance-enhancing substances until after the 2002 season."

ABOUT ME

This blogger is a New Yorker, born and raised. I'm a huge sports fan, following pretty much every major sport out there. Sadly, this does not include hockey, NASCAR, or boxing. Hockey lost my affection during the lockout, NASCAR is not a sport, and boxing has become incredibly boring since the dawn of MMA. If you want to talk football, baseball, basketball, or MMA, then I'm your man. I could also debate NASCAR with anyone, but we would probably end up just going around in circles...
