    'Roid rage grows bigger: After ruling, baseball in line for toughest
    hit yet
    By Steve Buckley
    Boston Herald General Sports Columnist

    Thursday, December 28, 2006 - Updated: 02:42 PM EST

    Fasten your seat belts, baseball fans, because you're in for a bumpy,
    steroid-enhanced ride.

    What, you thought this steroid mess was going away? Fat chance. Or,
    for the purposes of this discussion, bulked-up chance.

    With yesterday's news - a court ruled that government
    investigators are entitled to know the names of about 100 major
    leaguers who tested positive for illegal drugs in 2003 - it's only a
    matter of time before these names are leaked to the media.

    A whisper will turn into a quote. A quote will turn into a
    headline. A headline will turn into round-the-clock coverage on ESPN
    and CNN.

    Might be vindictive, but misery loves company.
    My guess though is the the MLBPA raises holy hell with the league,
    maybe even a strike because those tests were done with the agreement
    that they were internal, and non-punitive only, with no names to be
    released.
    I think the CBA is gonna get tossed.

    Just as an add on, I can't believe that this decision came out of the
    9th Circuit Court of Appeals. I've seen it and still can't believe THAT
    court made this decision.

    Teminds me of Bill's testimony about that girl, or Lance's '99 samples.

    I don't really care about baseball or barry bonds but once the list
    goes public, all the 'positives' will get hounded too even though it
    was a non-binding survey sort of test. How many baseball players
    carreers will get screwed even though steroids weren't banned under MLB
    rules at the time?

    And here I was thinking the french had a monoply on never ending witch
    hunts.

    If performance enhancing is illegal, and Davey neither knows nor cares
    whether they are or not insofar as base ball is concerned, it would seem
    that the prosecutors have a right to any evidence available

    Refusal to supply that evidence would at best be contempt of court
    and at worst make the withholders accessories after the fact

    Victor Wiley, a negro, was arrested in Alton in July 2004 and charged
    with possession of a gun, crack cocaine and marijuana. He went to
    trial last week. Part of his defense is that when he was interrogated
    by police, he was high on crack cocaine and suffering from ADD.
    Wiley's defense lawyer John Stobbs II, says Wiley's illness made it
    impossible for him to talk to police officers after his arrest.
    Wiley's defense evidence included a doctor who said the ADD would
    prevent him from being honest with police, and that information
    apparently swayed the jury to acquit Wiley of the drug possession
    charges.

    Moral of the Story: We're all safer with another gun-toting black
    crackhead loose on the streets. Thank you crazy justice system

    dumbass,

    what's wrong with getting high or having a gun ?

    it doesn't say he was harming anyone.

    Your signature is over the limit.

    I read the responses to this thread. Who can tell me
    the disposition of the firearms charge?

    It wasn't mentioned in any of the news stories about this event that I saw. But
    most were simply the same piece, probably off the wire service.
