Why? Lots of guys cheated, but certainly just as many more did not.

Cal ripken? You have to be kidding me. Bonds did steroids...we know that. The issue is whether or not HE knew he was taking them or not...which he did, but has stated he didn't. That makes him a liar as well as a cheater.

He stated he thought it was flaxseed oil or some other inane excuse. Just ridiculous.

here is an article about what Bonds told the grand jury. So either he is the worlds stupidest human being or he lied....I will let Bonds defenders decide which it is.

Barry Bonds testified to a grand jury that he used a clear substance and a cream given to him by a trainer who was indicted in a steroid-distribution ring, but said he didn't know they were steroids, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Friday.

Bonds told a U.S. grand jury that he used undetectable steroids known as "the cream" and "the clear," which he received from personal trainer Greg Anderson during the 2003 season. According to Bonds, the trainer told him the substances were the nutritional supplement flaxseed oil and a pain-relieving balm for the player's arthritis.
