MLB to Begin Steroid Investigation

[jjgman21]

What can MLB do to investigate Bonds is my question? They can't force anyone to talk and don't have the authority to get evidence.

 

 

MLB couldn't force anyone to talk regarding Pete Rose, but they did a pretty thurough investigation. not being a government agency is viewed by everyone as a hinderance because of the inability to compel the witnesses to talk, but not being a governmental entity, they are not bound to the same investigative and prosecutroial methods. they can obtain info in ways the government could not, they are not bound by the rules of evidence, don't have to disclose their sources, they make their own credibility determinations, and formulate their own standards and burdens of proof.

ESPN just mentioned that maybe someone could sue Bonds for fraud. Do we really want to go there?
