So the latest flap about Barry Bonds is that we have more proof he took steroids. Big deal - he admitted as much to a grand jury a couple of years ago. So did Jason Giambi, by the way, and since then Rafael Palmeiro has been proved a steroid abuser and Mark McGwire all but admitted it too. But we're still supposed to get all bent out of shape whenever Barry Bonds's name is mentioned. In the same vein, lots of commentators and fans have, probably rightly, speculated about Sammy Sosa and body-bulkers yet I can't remember the last time anybody asked why Jeff Bagwell's forearms are bigger than Barry Bonds's upper arms. At least Bonds can still play.
