Re: Supposed 103 Name Steroid List Leaked!!!

godwolf......excuse me for wanting to be sure so I don't misread you, but are you saying "Just throw out the statute of limitations card so the cheaters can once again find a loophole to slide safely into second base?"

All that matters, in my opinion, is that if your name is one of the 104 (why do they refer to it as 103???.....it's 104!).....then you are guilty in the "court of public opinion". And that's all that matters.....the rest is all legal mumbo-jumbo to distract and misdirect lessor souls who can't think on their feet from the truth.

Let's be clear about one thing. There are records, and they are made of numbers. There has been a recent (last 15-20 years or so) attack, obliteration if you will, on the record books. This is the most cherished aspect of baseball.....to compare current athletic stars to the forefathers in the sport that set the standards, numbers to chase, establishling the benchmarks of greatness.

If they aren't playing on a level playing field, then what good are the new fabricated (chemically morphised blown up fictional) numbers?? They become meaningless in comparison, hence, the outrage over this era.

THAT'S what this whole steroid issue is about. NO ONE has any respect for the cheaters who have cheated the greatest game ever conceived.....and insulting the historic players who did it the right way.... on God given ability alone.......and maybe a beer or two with a hotdog chaser.

I was addressing one thing and one thing only, in my post: the idea, expressed by another poster, that the individuals on this list, should it turn out to be legitimate, would, as the law is currently written, be subject to criminal prosecution.

I was not addressing whether or not they should be kicked out of organized Baseball, made to forfeit their pensions, have all of their records expunged, see their names stricken from the Book of Life, or anything else.

Please don't assume that, because I happen to have pointed out that prosecuting someone criminally for testing positive on a drug test six years ago is never going to happen, and that there is no basis in the law for even attempting to do so, that I am pro-steroids, don't care about the sanctity of the record book, and carry Barry Bonds' picture in my wallet.
