Holy shit that pic is AWESOME!

It really is. I shrunk it b/c it was 600x600 -- you should look at the original size if you haven't already.

NEW YORK (SI.com) -- Beginning in 1998 with injections in his buttocks of Winstrol, a powerful steroid, Barry Bonds took a wide array of performance-enhancing drugs over at least five seasons in a massive doping regimen that grew more sophisticated as the years went on, according to Game of Shadows, a book written by two San Francisco Chronicle reporters at the forefront of reporting on the BALCO steroid distribution scandal.

(An excerpt of Game of Shadows that details Bonds' steroid use appears exclusively in the March 13 issue of Sports Illustrated, which is available on newsstands beginning on Wednesday. The book's publication date is March 27.)

i just finished reading that article. nothing shocking to me.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 19:49 (eighteen years ago) link

at this point i'm just going on the assumption that the only player not using 'roids is juan pierre

― gear (gear), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:11 (eighteen years ago) link

I wonder what proof they have. I mean, this is rather specific.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:30 (eighteen years ago) link

Well, if everyone's on roids, then it's a level playing field, so there's no problem! Wheeeeeeeeee!

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Proof? You don't need proof when you've got "THE TRUTH".

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:44 (eighteen years ago) link

I wonder what proof they have. I mean, this is rather specific

i believe a lot of the specifics come from the recently unsealed court documents. there was a link regarding the notation/documentation that i didn't bother to follow.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:50 (eighteen years ago) link

The article flatly states that all of their evidence consists of leaked grand jury testimony, supposedly confidential documents + affidavits, etc. I still don't understand how nobody's been charged with any wrongdoing there.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:55 (eighteen years ago) link

I believe Nick Sylvester was involved.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 20:56 (eighteen years ago) link

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/magazine/03/06/growth.doc0313/

at least as interesting as the article, to me.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:03 (eighteen years ago) link

Still, the article seems to rely on evidence that wont be backed up by anyone involved or statements by the "girlfriend." Most of this has been leaked already and reported in their paper. If any of this has validity (the girlfriends testimony about tax evasion, the lying to the grand jury) where are the charges? Anyway, they've been gunning for him from day one and they'll keep it up long after he's retired and I have a feeling he'll still be having the last laugh.

― dan. (dan.), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Anderson's calenders/diaries seem pretty conclusive to me without much more evidence. I can't see a non-steroid explanation for their existence.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 21:59 (eighteen years ago) link

Weren't those leaked already? I could have sworn we've been hearing about caladers and cycles for a few years now. And I'm not saying he hasn't used, just saying this looks like a hit piece.

― dan. (dan.), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 22:03 (eighteen years ago) link

But he's the most beloved athlete since Kirby Puckett!

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 7 March 2006 22:17 (eighteen years ago) link

jeez! - could you hate Kirby any more?

Bonds' HR peformance:

1990-1994 Age 25-29 175 HRs
1995-1999 Age 30-34 186 HRs
2000-2004 Age 36-40 258 HRs

Either Bonds is some freak of nature that somehow peaked later than 99.99% of every baseball player ever to play the game or something helped him out. Either way, the MLB or the Players Association did not care enough about the doping to make it against the rules.

Bonds was good when he was young, so there isn't anything to say he wouldn't be good in his late 30s, but to do what he did, forget about it.

Timeline wise, 1998 seems early to me, I would have thought Bonds got on the program after being beat up in 99 and missing a bunch of games. If it did help, it did not really kick in until 2000.

Hi! We're 2 years ago!

I can't imagine anything more boring than an entire book about what Barry Bonds shot into his ass.

Yes, we should definitely pass steroid judgements based on subjective suspicions of performance increase instead of, er, evidence that someone used steroids. Nice.

This is why I generally ignore everything other than positive tests and confessions.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 02:18 (eighteen years ago) link

Also milo OTM ... that book looks like the most boring read ever. If I want to look at a shopping list I'll write one out myself.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 02:19 (eighteen years ago) link

So far the response to this has actually been semi-sane. Not the usual over-the-top nonsense from everyone and their grandmother. Pretty soon pro-sports are going to have to get with the program (the one that everyone else seems to be getting with) where human beings actually take drugs to improve their lives.

― dan. (dan.), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 03:48 (eighteen years ago) link

There are still some overreactors - I heard some dumbass from Sports Illustrated droning on about how this was the most damning evidence of malfeasance against any pro athlete since the Pete Rose report dropped blah blah blah and Rafael Palmeiro testing positive was NOTHING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING compared to this, and I couldn't believe my ears. Yeah, a guy actually testing positive for 'roids is absolutely nothing like a book cobbled-together from leaked testimony and spurned mistresses.
Gimme a break.

― Erick Dampier is better than Shaq (miloaukerman), Wednesday, 8 March 2006 05:12 (eighteen years ago) link

could you hate Kirby any more?

Of course I could. (For starters, if he was Pete Rose.) But the irony of the Bonds Pinata Party resuming the same day as the Saint Kirby eulogies was too obvious to ignore.

We've been seeing different things! First five minutes of the CBS Evening News last night: 1) Dana Reeve's death from lung cancer; 2) Bonds and the book. Ed Murrow would be so FUCKING proud.

This seems pretty histrionic:

Most of the SF Chronicle coverage is rather personal, vengeful and vindictive. It's almost like ILX!!!

"the classy, beloved Willie Mays" who played in the days when reporters didn't / wouldn't see the bottle of "red juice" in his locker...

Well, not many over-the-top reactions yet, huh? It's like the sports media's spring production is The Crucible.
