Well, sounds like you're a totally different person writing, so I'm going to go with you really didn't believe what you first posted. Either that or we actually changed your mind since you never questioned anything. And I know you're also smarter than this:

There's a big difference between that and doing something illegal. Those are the rules of the game and have nothing "illegal" about them. Yes, it sucks that blacks didn't get to compete. Yes, it sucks about all the other things, but that's how the games change with times and improve. The 3 point line in basketball, 2 point conversions in football, you mentioned the better technology in golf, etc. There are countless changes in every sport that are different from the years past. The NFL, NHL, NBA, PGA, MLB... they all do it. They have to and therefore it's all relative.

Make no mistake about it, steroids are taken by all players, pitchers and hitters. Right now, all we know for sure is that Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi, Gary Sheffield, Jose Canseco, Ken Caminiti, Rafael Palmeiro and countless number of no names are guilty of the juice. We have our suspicions... Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Albert Pujols, Roger Clemens, etc., but that's all they are... suspicions with no proof.

The apple to oranges comparisons are very difficult to achieve, so good luck with that.

BTW, you're sticking up for Bonds and trying to justify that what he has done is ok. That makes you a "Bonds apologist".
