Other than that, Lance did that all his own.

Yes, and Barry Bonds never took anything, neither did Sosa or anyone in any sport who hasn't tested positive, because I am sure there are NO WAYS to cheat the system.
Sorry for having an opinion, I am willing to believe he cheated, sorry... Like I said, I'm not going to just come out and say "Armstrong cheated he didn't deserve those wins." I just say, I believe Armstrong took something, but I don't know.

Cheating is perfectly fine? Well, how come Pete Rose isn't in the hall? How come Tim Donaghy is in big trouble?

I try  .
It is a NFL forum, so I previewed one that had to do with the...*shock* NFL. It had little to do with the story being about a player on a rival team, as much as you want it to be. Should I have instead previewed the Marion Jones track story or the Richard Petty thing? I would of quoted the whole article, but that is against the rules here, so tough cookies. But nice try on attempting to make me come off as bias. Classy.

Illinois losing to UNC in the National Championship, not really a record persay but it's tainted. ;)
I think May got away with legalized assault on Augustine in that game....

Anyone who says Favre didn't give Strahan the sack is either blind or dumb.

Amen to that. That was one of the very few occasions that I've cheered for Illinois in a game.

I think all of Roger Clemens accomplishments should have the suspicion Bonds' accomplishments have gone under. Like Bonds, he grew to bigger proportions late in his career, saw a late career power surge and had career seasons at the age of 42-44.

yes, it was illegal at the time he took it. It was illegal in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. IT WAS A LAW. So give me a break with that crap. Im sick of that argument.

Well then they should cut out the entire steroid era in baseball and nullify everything if they do it to Bonds. I can guarantee you, without a testing program, there had to be an extremely large amount of dopers. It's like when you're writing a test, you are stuck on an answer, and the teacher leaves the room to get coffee. You're going to find out that answer. What he did was wrong, but there's no reason to condemn him without condemning practically everyone from the '90s.

I never said it was only him, and I am not accusing him. Im saying if he or anyone else used steroids, the records should be taken away because it was against the law to use steroids, and it doesnt make a difference whether it was in the MLB rule book or not.
edit i can see where it looked like im accusing him. Bad choice of words.

Steroids have been illegal in baseball since 1991...

No, I'm sorry. My statement was more directed at the entire "burn Barry" movement, not you. I just quoted your's since it was the last steroid post I saw.

I would do what everyone else in their right mind would do. Sell it.

OK well so was corked bats and they found how many since 1991? Exactly. It was illiegal but they never did any testing for it. Thus you could take what you want, when you want and do it without any troubles.

I would sell to the highest bidder...the very last thing I would do is give the ball back to barry bonds, even if he offered me the most money
and also, I lost all respect for Favre after that play, regardless of anything he has ever done...I just couldn't believe he did that

That is absurd. Just because MLB's testing policy was a joke in the 1990's, doesn't make it perfectly alright.

Still the only reason people are on his d*** is because he is going to hit 756 shortly. Why isnt any calling on Neifi Perez who tested positive 3, THREE times. Geez, lay off the man. Im surprised no one is questions ARod yet. Maybe its because he isnt THAT close to 756 yet. Im gonna give it 2-3 years before people start questioning him.
