This last week a major incidence occured in the sports world. Barry Bonds was indicted by a federal grand jury on 4 counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice. "During the criminal investigation, evidence was obtained including
positive tests for the presence of anabolic steroids and other
performance enhancing substances for Bonds and other athletes," the
indictment reads. The charges focus on Bonds' responses to the grand
jury in his 2003 testimony, specifically his denials when asked if he
had used steroids, and whether Greg Anderson, Bonds' trainer, had administered steroids to
him. The Giants, Major League Baseball and its players' union all expressed sadness at the indictment, and the White House weighed in, calling it a "sad day in baseball". Bonds' arraignment is set for December 7th when he is expected to plead not guilty to all charges. If found guilty Barry could face 5 years in federal prison for each count of perjury and 10 years for the count of obstruction. I have my own opinion of Bonds and think he is one of the dirtiest players to ever play the game, dirtier than Pete Rose. I cannot stand the man and was disgusted to see him break Hank Aaron's record of 755 career home runs. I personally think that Bonds was aided by numerous steroids. I have found pictures of Bonds over the years and will let you judge. I think it is unmistakable when something went into his system because of his rapid growth, the guy went through major jumps in hat sizes and massive head growth is associated with steroid abuse. Of course he is innocent until proven guilty.

2001, this was the year in which Bonds broke the single season home run record. Bonds hit 73 single season home runs, breaking Mark McGwire's record of 70. McGwire is also one who has been rumored for steroid abuse.

After every home run Barry Bonds points to the sky or in this case he is pointing to his god. I hope he is found guilty and every record he holds is wiped off the book.
