The HGH Secret is Out
I've really been bugged over the past few months by talk from some sports writers that the steroid over is something that can be put in the past and now we can watch baseball without worrying about drugs, when that is completely not the case. Today's revelations with Jason Grimsley (a middle reliever for goodness' sake) seemed to wake up a lot of people to the fact that there is this thing called HGH that builds muscle mass rapidly and can't be tested. And the lesson to me isn't that you need to be incredibly vigilant. The lesson is deal with it. Stop vilifying Bonds as if he is the second coming of Satan and accept that's just the way it is now. Don't be a hypocrite as far as wanting games a certain way and then condemning to eternal damnation the people who are either too stupid or too famous and end up getting caught.

You're probably right, but it's at least possible Bonds started on PEDs before he had a Hall of Fame resume. He could, in theory, have gotten on steroids anytime before 1998 even though "Game of Shadows" alleges that's when Bonds' use began.
Just to clarify, I'm not saying Bonds is a great guy or even defending him much. I just view the media as making Bonds this gigantic target, and mainly laying off the likes of McGwire and company. I'm not terribly sympathetic to Bonds individually.
