Racial Bias in the Steroid Investigation

Steroids.

We have all heard about this topic over and over again. I'm sick of it, and I know you are as well.

Barry Bonds is the helpless soul in this whole steroid controversy, and there are arguments as to whether it was brought out because of Bonds' personality, which seems anti-social at times, or by his African-American race.

I believe it could be a combination of both, but I'm leaning more towards the race card. People are tired of athletes such as Donovan McNabb saying that race is bigger than what it seems now in sports, but I believe that to be the case in some parts of the country.

I don't know when I last heard Mark McGwire or Rafael Palmeiro's name in the steroids mix. Don't get me wrong, those names are still in there, but I don't hear them as often as I hear Bonds.

They don't even talk about Rick Ankiel or Troy Glaus' name about HGH anymore. I think that's absurd. You can drop those names I've listed above, but you can't even take a break with Bonds?

If you're going to put an asterisk next to Bonds' name in the Hall of Fame, do it to McGwire. Do it to Palmeiro. I still think the race card is being pulled when associating steroids with Bonds.
