Who's head grows four helmet sizes bigger in their mid thirties? Barry Bonds, that's who: Please read this. If the news that Barry Bonds has been using steroids comes as a surprise to you, welcome back from the coma you've been in. Here is a list of how much Barry Bonds made over the years: Salary 1992-4,800,000 1993-4,516,666 1994-5,166,666 1995-8,166,666 1996-8,416,667 1997-8,666,667 1998-8,916,667 1999-9,381,057 2000-10,658,826 2002-15,000,000 2003-15,500,000 2004-18,000,000 2005-22,000,000 These figures don't include sponsorship dollars. The Race Club would like to file a class action law suit against Barry Bonds, and all athletes that test positive for performance enhancing, illegal drugs, on behalf of all clean athletes. The money and exposure that Barry Bonds has "earned" has been taken from clean athletes. Clean athletes don't get these opportunities and I believe that it is theft. Am I the only one? Barry Bonds is a cheater and a thief. HELP! The clean athletes need your help! Particularly, we need the help of a lawyer that is willing to take this on as a pro bono case. If we triumph in the courts the lawyer will be rewarded along with the athletes. If we don't we still send out the message that there are still clean athletes out there that are opposed to this behavior. Remember, clean athletes don't make the money that a cheater does. We need to let people know that this is not okay. Sport is in jeopardy if we do nothing. We must file a class action lawsuit on behalf of clean athletes. Clean athletes must bond together to fight this scourge plaguing our sports. We must put a face to the victims, the clean athletes. We must let young athletes know that it is not okay to cheat and steal and if you do you will be punished, not rewarded with multimillion dollar contracts. Support our fight against performance enhancing, illegal drugs. Begin by signing this petition: Click here. Thank you! How can Victor Conte and his cronies get away with manufacturing and distributing massive amounts of illegal drugs with only a few months sentence or probation? If they were dealing in any other illegal, equally harmful substance they would be given life sentences without question. What is wrong with our legal system? What is wrong with our fan base? How can we let these people get away with this? Barry Bonds is about to wipe out the records of baseball's greatest athletes, Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron, and all the other clean athletes before him. His records should not stand. It's not okay. We must do something. If the sport's governing bodies won't do anything then it is up to us, the athletes. Victor Conte leaving the court house The list of dirty athletes continues to grow, rapidly. Barry Bonds is the most recent addition to the likes of Ken Caminiti, Marion Jones, Jose Conseco, Lawrence Taylor, Mark McGwire, Bill Romanowski, Tim Montgomery, and Rafael Palmeiro to name a few. This is a short list of the high profile, highly paid cheaters that need to be held accountable for their actions. For every one of these athletes there is a clean athlete that never got their shot at playing in the big leagues, of making the Olympic team, of living their lifelong dream, let alone the sponsorships, salaries and publicity. The only consequences for these athletes admitting drug use has been a huge book deal and more publicity! The Race Club will do our part to organize the athletes in this fight. We need legal help. Please help! PLEASE. Pass this request on to as many people as you know that are against our sport's growing trend of role models turning into drug crazed lunatics. I ask that clean athletes sign our petition. I ask for legal help. Please help us.

  • Hello Darth: The problem you are going to have is getting data and records to prove wrong doing. There used to be a real good website by Brent Rushall and he had a Hall of Shame that was composed of athletes that were suspected and proven later to be using performance enhancing drugs. But once the time lapsed and the ship sailed so to speak, none of the organizing governing bodies did anything to try and correct or investigate the cheats. The IOC has made it clear that they will not go back in the past because they would have a hard time with proof. Plus, the NFL will not go back and dig this dirt up because they didn't have a drug policy and in fact dropped the ball like MLB did. Now with the WADA and with Congressional support, the future looks a lot better because there will be testing in all of the sports and they will have policys for violators. But there will still be cheats that get thru because the drug testing is not always accurate and there will be new enhancing drugs that will be just put on the market and not on the banned lists like the ones that Balco was selling. I agree with your assessment about marijuana, but its still on the banned list and there would be penalties associated with that even if like President Clinton used it and said he didn't get off or get high from it. Then, there will be people like Rick DeMont that will suffer injustice because the USA doctors did not inform him that the asthma medication he was taking was on the banned list. I have some good links that you should read Darth. These are the links where the Hall of Shame came from but I can't find that particular link. I think they took it down. www-rohan.sdsu.edu/.../table.htm www-rohan.sdsu.edu/.../fourdrug.htm
