Description :	http://fora.tv/fora/showthread.php?t=1180 Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams, investigative reporters and co-authors of the book "Game of Shadows," discuss Barry Bonds, steroids, and the current state of professional baseball. ----- "Beyond BALCO" with Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams. Marty Lurie moderates. With the weight of a prison sentence off their shoulders, Fainaru-Wada and Williams open up about their role in the BALCO steroid case that rocked pro sports. They also discuss the balance between California's shield law and the public's right to know, and the state of performance-enhancing drugs in sports. -- The Commonwealth Club of California Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams are reporters for the San Francisco Chronicle and co-authors of the book "Game of Shadows," which chronicles baseball slugger Barry Bonds' alleged steroid use. On May 5, 2006, Fainaru-Wada and Williams were subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury about how they obtained Bonds' leaked grand jury testimony. On May 31, the authors urged United States District Judge Martin Jenkins of San Francisco to excuse them from testifying. This appeal was supported by affidavits from Washington Post reporters Carl Bernstein and Mark Corallo, a former press secretary to former Attorney General John Ashcroft, but was denied on August 15, 2006. On Sept 21, 2006, the journalists were sentenced to 18 months in prison for contempt of court. The two have repeatedly stated that they would go to prison before revealing their sources. The two avoided jail time, however, when attorney Troy Ellerman pleaded guilty on Feb. 14, 2007, to leaking the information, lying to prosecutors, obstructing justice and disobeying a court order not to disclose grand jury information.

whats that nonsense? steroids are used by most if not all competing athletes in different sports! enough lies! just allow steroids and many other medicines that help people and athletes instead of shouting that its evil. its one's choice. i take roids. and valium and moprphine when i need to. legality doesnt bother me. enough comformity and idiocy. if alcohol is allowed and if cigarettes are, then why not roids or valium?

it's not about steroids well it is sort of the point is that he lied in court if he admitted to taking steroids there would be far less consequences than lying

Yhea, but even in that situation it takes courage to not conform which Barry lacks

If barry gets in, so should I, and i have never played the game.

If Barry gets in the HOF, then so should Pete Rose.

rose BET ON BASEBALL AND HIS OWN GAMES. That has been proven. Has sterooid use been proven? Has he ever tested positive has bond's admitted it's use? Why is he still cranking them out. There is no comparison.

They also have no proof OJ is a murderer, but without proof, it's still likely because he threatened to kill himself and he had marital problems. Bonds has a bigger head, a bigger frame, and a bigger ego even though he's older. And yes, I can totally compare the two.

always had an ego. I think the bigger head is from HGH. steroids were not a banned substance. he has not gone to jail nor has he been suspended from ML baseball. YET you want him banned from the HOF.

The problem is that ML test steroids use through urine test but HGH can only be discovered through a blood test. That is why Barry has never tested positive for steroids. Geee people, its ML fault for not updating there testing policies ...

They have a pile of evidence that OJ is guilty. Just happened that they framed a guilty man.
