The obvious is proven with documentation.

I don't think Bonds should be seen in a worse light than Lance Armstrong. Neither has tested positive. In France they have as much on Armstrong as there is on Bonds. Lance is a Hero. As far as Tax evasion, and perjury, thats another story.

Such a surprise.

The truth can be told: The Commissioner and ESPN encouraged steroid usage until publish backlash made them whistle a different tune.

...and the truth shall set you free Barry. Oops, sorry but the truth can also ruin your career or any chance of making the HOF.

Probably about as big as a book can be in relation to sports.

The naysayers are claiming that 'there is no story' since we all know that Bonds took 'roids. . .but the book also is an indictment on how baseball looked the other way and pretended not to notice the damage being done. . .a real big story thus far. . .

We all knew Bonds did steroids (although it should be noted that he never tested positive for it), and this book points out the reasons why. Bonds was jealous that players with less talent - McGwire and Sosa - were getting all the attention during the home run race. The book's just going to add fuel the fire we'll be hearing about all summer while Bond's looks to break a couple records.
