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.

I will be honest and admit that when I was a younger man I was guilty of partaking in a little marijane from time to time.....and I honestly never considered it to be performance enhancing....i.e. I didn't really consciously try and cheat like one who deliberately takes steroids for example....but I did go to practice under the influence of marijane on many occaissions....and thinking back on it now, I realize that it may have enhanced my ability to train harder....I guess you can kind of put yourself into a trance like state more easily when you're stoned....and this helps you to focus more on other things....like repetitive activities for example.....and it also seemed to have a numbing effect when it came to noticing the pain....maybe the trance-like state enabled me to not notice the pain?....or maybe the pot had an actual physical numbing effect?....I'm not sure.....but nonetheless, I think it did give me some advantages when I trained under the influence.....I can't take back what I've already done.....and its been many years since those infractions took place.....I do have some regrets about it now.....now that performance enhancing drugs of all kinds has become a more central issue in sports than it was back when I was using marijane......I hope that doesn't make me a cheater?.....It was never my conscious decision to try and pull one over on anyone....I mean I was just a stoner more or less....stoners never think that deeply about anything....its just food, sleep, cartoons, and whatever.

I don't think that anyone thinks htat marijuana is a performance- enhancing drug. However, it is as illegal as are steroids.
