This much is Clear: Bonds getting raw deal
[SIZE=-1]CBS News, NY [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]The blockbuster new evidence suggests that the Clear (composed of THG) wasn't categorized as a steroid until January of 2005, long after BALCO had been disbanded. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Basically, the government has portrayed Bonds as a steroid cheat and someone who lied about using the Clear and is prosecuting Bonds for that lie. But if the Clear wasn't a steroid, then when Bonds testified he wasn't knowingly using steroids, he was telling the truth. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]This isn't just a technicality. This is a major front falling in the government's case: that Bonds lied about using steroids. It appears he didn't. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]The biggest issue is the government itself. They apparently knew that the Clear wasn't technically categorized as a steroid and still pursued a perjury case against Bonds anyway. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]If all of this is accurate it's a gross abuse of power. It means the government is simply using Bonds' notoriety -- and infamy -- to make an example of him. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]They want to teach future athletes a lesson: use steroids and you'll end up like Bonds. They're doing this by any means necessary. This isn't how the government should behave, no matter how unlikable the target. [/SIZE]
