Quote:Damon said that BALCO should bear the brunt of the blame.

"Bonds, Sheffield and Giambi are going on trial," Damon told the Courant. "They're getting in trouble because another company got in trouble and to save their time they spilled the beans. So that's what I'm kind of upset about. It's unfortunate. It's like they got convicted of a murder and they're on trial for murder."

So I guess BALCO held a gun to players heads and forced them to take the roids??

Why shouldn't BALCO have spilled the beans about this?? I'm sure it would have come ou eventually!

This shouldn't even be compared to being "convicted of murder".

What are the age differences between those pictures? I have seen the affects of steroids on athletes and have seen athletes grow without the use of steroids. Without a positive test for the presence of steroids, I will not accuse anyone of abuse.
