Go Viagra and Go Bonds! If Bonds is "enhanced" so is almost every other baseball player, but THEY didn't break Hammering Hank's record. Let’s call an enhancement an enhancement.

That qualifies SF Giant fans to call him their native son!! <br/><br/>While most of us have trouble accepting the idea of our sports heros juicing with performance enhancing drugs, should this lack of acceptance include Viagra? Hey solidly placed,

Your information is flat… wrong.

Like any ink-stained wretch of a journalist, I rely on luck, cunning, and the kindness of strangers to manufacture the news...but as far as Bonds and the Giants are concerned, both of them are going south-or maybe Peter Magowan will move the team to Yerevan, where juicing may still be legal...now that's make 'em contenders!

It is a great accomplishment, which required skill, longevity and determination." He also offered best wishes to Barry and his family.<br/><br/>So there!

This is not the case for Bonds. And, as commentator Bob Costas said, there would be more than enough evidence for a jury to convict Bonds of doping it up if he were to stand trial for CHEATING in baseball. The best garlic fries? Is that all you got? Everyone in this country is innocent until proven guilty when charged with a crime. This is not the case for Bonds.
