We’re Not Serious, Be We?

If Bonds is convicted (or plea bargains), this is exactly what MLB should do if it is serious about PEDs, Barry Bonds, and the entire performance enhancing drug mess: 

All of Marion Jones’ results dating to September 2000, including her Olympic and world championship titles, were annulled Friday because of doping. Track and field’s governing body also told her to return prize money from that period.

The International Association of Athletics Federation recommended that Jones’ relay teammates be disqualified and lose their medals from the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

The IAAF council also upheld the two-year ban imposed on Jones by U.S. officials. She retried last month after pleading guilty to lying to federal investigators in 2003. Jones admitted she had taken the designer steroid “the clear” from September 2000 to July 2001.

Otherwise:  SHUT THE **** UP!!!  You lack the courage of your convictions.  You are, as you were, part of the problem, not the solution.

    We all know how baseball’s complacency and out-and-out conspiracy in regards to PEDs contributed and encouraged players to use them. They’re not going to wipe out any records one way or the other; they’re just going to try and turn the page and hope the whole thing goes away.

    I know, Paul, I know. It is just so frustrating watching the small fish get fried while those responsible for keeping the game honest feign innocence. Bud Selig and pals should be sworn and pursued with the same relentnessness as Bonds when they perjure themselves that they didn’t know steroids were being used in baseball.
