How the media handled Bonds PED issue..

[cixthree]

Is it just me or, Is this how all PED issues should be looked at... Why did they come down on Barry, but not Manny?
Kinda strange.. Both accused of cheating, but one is drug thru the mud, the other rides off on the Good Ship EPO...

[Russian Crushin]

Maybe BALCO had something to do with it

Maybe because Manny is just a one dimensional fighter fighting bums and weight-drained fighters. Most normal people would just shrug it off and would rather point their fingers to the accusers.

the mainstream media doesn't follow or know enough about boxing to feel comfortable criticizing a fighter. if boxing was more mainstream i have no doubt we would have heard more people saying the type of **** teddy atlas was saying about pacs refusal to test being su****ious...and rightfully so.

[BoxingTech718]

Because Americans care more about Baseball than they do about boxing. Most Americans look at boxing as a dirty, barbaric sport anyway, so they don't care. If Americans cared more about Boxing like they do Baseball, Football and Basketball, then we would see way tougher drug testing for boxers.

Well duh, its obviously because Bonds is Black! There, you got what you wanted to hear, so now scroll down.

You should worry more at how the medias is viewing Floyd ducking. Everybody is calling Floyd coward this coward that.

Maybe because no one in Pacquiao's entourage and those who are involved in his training including those nosy reporters/journalists are saying/writing that Pacquiao is really into PEDs...


...unlike that of the case of Bond where everyone surrounding him ( including reporters and journalists) suspects him and even tell other people about their su****ions and experiences with Bonds.


In the case of Pacquiao, if he has been into PEDs, by now, (even before the ridiculous accusation of the Mayweathers started) many of those who have had personal experiences with him and those involved in his training should have had already indications and signs that Pacquiao is really into PEDs (like irritability, aggressive behavior and other changes in psychological behavior that normally Users manifest). The media could have picked up this kind of behavior immediately or even stories from Pacquiao's camp, but there is simply nothing that they can pick up. Unlike that of Barry Bonds' case.

"Serious new side effects of performance enhancing drugs"

The researchers also found that steroids could cause a change in the users’ psychology, reducing their empathy for other people, and making them less sensitive to the effect of their actions on others. Unlike other drugs, which merely alter mood for a short time, this new evidence indicates steroids may cause a change to human personality, which is normally stable throughout life – a result that has potential implications for those convicted of criminal offences related to so called “roid rage”.

Who do you think has this kind of indications/signs among the current boxers today?

Racism... or...

Bonds exposed

NEW YORK (SI.com) -- Beginning in 1998 with injections in his buttocks of Winstrol, a powerful steroid, Barry Bonds took a wide array of performance-enhancing drugs over at least five seasons in a massive doping regimen that grew more sophisticated as the years went on, according to Game of Shadows, a book written by two San Francisco Chronicle reporters at the forefront of reporting on the BALCO steroid distribution scandal.

(Click here for an excerpt from Shadows, which details Bonds' steroid use. It is also available in the March 13 issue of Sports Illustrated, which hits newsstands beginning on Wednesday. Shadows will be published on March 27.)

The authors, Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams, describe in sometimes day-to-day, drug-by-drug detail how often and how deeply Bonds engaged in the persistent doping. For instance, the authors write that by 2001, when Bonds broke Mark McGwire's single-season home-run record (70) by belting 73, Bonds was using two designer steroids referred to as the Cream and the Clear, as well as insulin, human growth hormone, testosterone decanoate (a fast-acting steroid known as Mexican beans) and trenbolone, a steroid created to improve the muscle quality of cattle.

BALCO tracked Bonds' usage with doping calendars and folders -- detailing drugs, quan******, intervals and Bonds' testosterone levels -- that wound up in the hands of federal agents upon their Sept. 3, 2003 raid of the Burlingame, Calif., business.

Depending on the substance, Bonds used the drugs in virtually every conceivable form: injecting himself with a syringe or being injected by his trainer, Greg Anderson, swallowing pills, placing drops of liquid under his tongue, and, in the case of BALCO's notorious testosterone-based cream, applying it topically.

According to the book, Bonds gulped as many as 20 pills at a time and was so deeply reliant on his regimen that he ordered Anderson to start "cycles" -- a prescribed period of steroid use lasting about three weeks -- even when he was not due to begin one. Steroid users typically stop usage for a week or two periodically to allow the body to continue to produce natural testosterone; otherwise, such production diminishes or ceases with the continued introduction of synthetic forms of the muscle-building hormone.

Bonds called for the re-starting of cycles when he felt his energy and power start to drop. If Anderson told Bonds he was not due for another cycle, the authors write, Bonds would tell him, "F--- off, I'll do it myself.''

When informed of the book this morning and asked if he was concerned about it, Bonds told a group of reporters gathered around his locker, "Nope. I won't even look at it [the book]. For what? I won't even look at it. There's no need to." He then walked away.

The authors compiled the information over a two-year investigation that included, but was not limited to, court documents, affidavits filed by BALCO investigators, confidential memoranda of federal agents (including statements made to them by athletes and trainers), grand jury testimony, audiotapes and interviews with more than 200 sources. Some of the information previously was reported by the authors in the Chronicle. Some of the information is new. For instance, in an extensive note on sourcing, the authors said memos detailing statements by BALCO owner Victor Conte, vice president James Valente and Anderson to IRS special agent Jeff Novitzky were sealed when they first consulted them, but have been unsealed since.
