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.

After the 1972 Olympics it was decided that awarding races by one thousand of a second was not accurate and wrong to do so in the first place and in the future there would be ties if the time was identical to the one hundredth of a second.
This is a pretty interesting topic. I'm pretty torn about going back and changing past results in this and DeMont's case. My heart tells me Rick DeMont deserved a medal, but he DID violate the rules at the time. By the same token, if the rules allowed timing to .001 second at the time, those were the rules and it doesn't seem proper to overrule them now. Consider this: would it be fair to go back and strip anyone who false started (in an individual event) of their medals today? I mean, after all, false starts get you disqualified now.
