Nice try there, asshole, playing the race card. Yeah that's what it's all about. You know I hate hockey to the nth degree. I guess that makes me a racist against whites too.
Maybe it's about the fact that Bonds is a total fucking jerk-off OFF the field (as well as on it). But McGwire, Sosa, Bonds, Palmeiro and all of those people have disgraced the game.

Those numbers are imbedded in my brain..........much the same way every key date in VH/Dave history is! Meanwhile, I can't remember something my wife told me 5 minutes ago.........:D
God you guys are funny. Steroids have been in sports for 40 yrs!! There is no way you're ever going to detect them all!! People don't care, they will be packing the parks as usual and all this crap won't change anything. Get over it, they're here to stay. Oh and by the way, they're not anymore more dangerous than half the prescriptions out there. Get educated people!!
AP NewsBreak: McGwire to attend hearing; no immunity for witnesses
By RONALD BLUM, AP Sports Writer
March 16, 2005
NEW YORK (AP) -- Mark McGwire plans to comply with a subpoena and attend Thursday's congressional hearing into steroid use in baseball, The Associated Press has learned.
McGwire's decision was revealed Wednesday by a representative of the former Oakland and St. Louis slugger who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Less than 24 hours before the start of the highly anticipated session, Jose Canseco's request for immunity was denied by the House Government Reform committee. Canseco's lawyer said the former AL MVP will not be able to answer questions that would incriminate him.
``No witnesses have been or will be granted immunity,'' David Marin, a spokesman for committee chairman Rep. Tom Davis, said in an e-mail to the AP.
Canseco's lawyer, Robert Saunooke, was angry with the decision.
``It begs the question as to what they're convening this hearing for,'' Saunooke said in a telephone interview. ``They effectively cut the legs off from underneath us.''
Saunooke has said that without immunity, Canseco would invoke his Fifth Amendment right to refuse to answer questions.
``They told me we can't do the Fifth to every question,'' he said. ``It's an absolute right of every citizen to not be compelled to give testimony against themselves. They do not make the decision. We do.''
As an example of how immunity would limit Canseco, Saunooke brought up McGwire's repeated denials of steroid use.
``If he still holds to that lie, then the only way we can disprove that is to give specific instances and talk openly and freely,'' Saunooke said. ``If we can't do that, then our credibility is undermined.''
