The Media is CLUELESS about Barry Bonds and the Real Issue

So the media still has no clue about the legal issues facing Barry Bonds. Let me help EVERYONE OUT. It does not matter one iota whether Barry Bonds did steroids. He's not charged with possession of steroids, use of a performance enhancing agent, sales of a controlled substance. He's charged with perjury folks. Here's the Indictment. That's it. That's all there is to this.

The charges facing Barry Bonds are similar to those Kobe Bryant faced in Colorado. Do we remember? Kobe didn't say he didn't have sex with the accuser. He says it was consensual, so the issue isn't whether he did or didn't have intercourse with her. The issue was whether it was consensual.

Barry Bonds has gone on record saying he never "knowingly" took steroids. Keep in mind the "knowingly" aspect. There are so many angles to this, it absolutely astonishes me that the Media, particularly SFGate.com and KGO who have so called legal analysts make a big whoop-to-do about the fact that the Government in its response to Barry's Motion to Dismiss, state Barry Bonds tested positive for steroids in 2001. SO WHAT!!! Yeah he tested positive, because he was using "The Clear" and "the Cream". He may or may not have been "knowingly" using them. Greg Anderson may have never informed him of it. Who knows, but the issue is DID HE KNOWINGLY USE STEROIDS.

It's about perjury folks, that's all, nothing more, nothing less. On a completely side note, his record should stand because the batters using steroids were hitting a ball that was thrown by a pitcher using human growth hormone and steroids. It was a pretty even playing field.
