Sorry if already posted.

 

The articles mostly just says that Selig will announce next week the investigation. It has yet to be determined if it will be conducted by MLB or outside personnel.

This is just Selig trying to make himself look good again. He doesn't have the balls to suspend Bonds just like he didn't have the balls to suspend either Bonds or Giambi when the Grand Jury testimony was leaked a couple years ago.

Is Bud on steroids too?

They were guaranteed immunity from everything apart from perjury as one of the conditions of their testimony.

Is that like OJ Simpson saying he will continue to find Nicole's "killer?"

 

Selig is a farce of a sports league president.

Where was Bud when Nicole was killed?

Does this mean ESPN will now cut into all programming for every new revelation in this investigation (rather than simply cutting in for every at-bat)?

That has nothing to do with any sanctions a private organization, such as Major League Baseball, would want to levy upon their players. It only has to do with possible criminal charges filed by the government (the body granting the immunity) that would come DIRECTLY from that testimony.

Exactly. Which is why Bonds and Giambi should be suspended. Palmeiro can't be suspended for steroids because he already has, but he should be facing a perjury charge. I will never forget his finger pointing at Congress. What an idiot.

Interesting that this 'leak' of a potential investigation comes out the day March Madness kicks into full gear.

 

I hope Selig seeks an independing investigator to follow through on the steroids issue. His continual brushing under the rug attitude has taken a toll on baseball.

 

If they do decide to investigate it needs to begin quicky in hopes of circumventing the Ruth record.

I haven't read the thread, so I don't know if it's already been reported, but the ESPN scroll says Bud hasn't decided if he's going to investigate Bond's.

Yeh, and major league baseball only knew of what Bonds said via an illegal leak of sealed grand jury testimony.

 

MLB taking that leak and using it against him, legally I suspect that's pretty much not a viable option.

 

Besides, steroids wasn't illegal. How on earth can MLB suspend someone for breaking a law that didn't even exist?
