[QUOTE="swamprat_basic"] Could it be that it actually was flaxseed oil? Regardless of whether Bonds is guilty or not, he is being tried in the court of public opinion. People are guilty of crimes, only when they have been proven guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt. And you cannot prove someone guilty of a crime without evidence.

Yeah, because it would totally make sense for him to say he took the clear if it was actually flaxseed oil.:|
It's already a FACT that he took roids, but there are two reasons they haven't convicted him: 1. There was no rule against roids when he did them. 2. There is no proof he took them knowingly (besides common sense).
Bonds never said that he used steroids, and he's been pretty careful about his words. He said that he used a clear substance, and that he was told it was Flaxseed Oil. Do I think that he took steroids? Probably, but I also believe that people are innocent until proven guilty, and I will not join in the trying of somebody in a court of public opinion.
The law is supposed to work separate from public opinion, and in my opinion the whole Bonds issue has been a major mistake in that regard. You cannot assume anything in a court of law. The truth can be completely bizarre. Who knows what actually happened? You seem to think you do, but you don't know for sure. Nobody does, except for possibly Barry, and maybe he actually is as big an idiot as he claims make him seem.
The reason why nobody has convicted Bonds of anything is because nothing has been proven as fact. He is still playing ball, and as far as I'm concerned, until somebody tests him and finds illegal steroids in his system, nobody can make any claim to the facts. He is still playing; he is still hitting homeruns. Have they tested him for steroids? I have a feeling that they have not, because at this point, they cannot afford to have his test come up negative.
