[JohnnyH]

Thought I'd join in with the other 5 threads confirming drug fails.

If it's not Kolo Toure, it's not officially in the club.

[Wor Horse]

Who?

9.79

he was framed by the IOC, obviously.

[Josef Svejk]

Johnson, Lewis, Christie.

 

First, second, and third best cheats at the time.

[Trumo]

Blame it on eating the chicken. It's ALWAYS because of eating the chicken.

[Josef Svejk]

But, seriously, who was the greatest sporting drug cheat of all time? I'll go with (in order of usage, effectiveness, and longevity):

Best sporting cheat? Immediately thought of the pigmy genius.

 

[Red Banjo]

I was in the Giants stadium when Barry Bonds hit number 735 in 2007.

 

That is all

[Soup]

 

Who would believe it.

[Pdool]

This has ruined the Seoul olympics for me now. Cheating cunt.

But his drug usage came later. His earlier cheating was a very different, post-war, justifiable sort of affair...

That's pretty cool. Drug issues aside, the Giants are my team...

I thought so too. I had no idea who Barry Bonds was before i went to the game. We were passing thru San Fran on the way to Vegas and we thought we'd take in a game just for the hell of it. It was an unremarkable game but i can atleast say i've seen the MLB's all time scorer hit a homer. Apparently the ball got £35,000 on ebay the next day. If only we'd have been sat 3 blocks to the left. Would have made Vegas a hell of a lot more interesting anyway.

 

Giants are my team too now just because of that. And i ignore the cheat talk.

Not my team because of Bonds, but because my first Major League game was also in San Francisco.

 

Though I have to confess that I've just bought tickets for Fenway Park on Independence Day. But I'll be wearing a Liverpool shirt...

This is also my reason mate. The Bonds thing was the side issue. Walking down to the park, chatting to the fans, just revelling in the atmosphere, shouting funny abuse at one of the opposition players (Puhols i think it was), and generally just being a fan for the night. I loved it. The game itself wasn't so great but the next day when we headed into the city, on the way to Pier 39 to see the sea-lions, i made sure we stopped by a club shop so i could buy a Giants cap. And that is my story on becoming a SF Giants fan. I think i became a 49ers fan at the same time as the club shop was duel themed and the place was full of Joe Montana stuff. I'd forgotten how much of a legend he was till i noticed how much they still adore him there.

 

Top, top place San Francisco. Can't give the place enough praise.
