Let the "justice system" take its course. They have to prove it, beyond a reasonable doubt. If they can't, you sure don't want to help them.
It would be nice to be righteous and all and say that you should always lay down for the justice system. But everyone knows that everyone was using steroids at the same time that Bonds was. Why is Bonds the one on trial? Well, I don't think you have to consider that for long.
The government needs to get their nose out of this. I would hate the fact that even a penny of my tax dollars went toward prosecuting a professional athlete for using steroids. This is a matter that the league should police. The government has no business doing so.
Of course, it's all about the attention. I understand that, but I don't want public money being spent on finding out whether a millionaire athlete "cheated" at a damn game. It's not their problem, or mine.

Hey, I said that I really don't care that much about the steroids thing. It's overblown. However, perjury is a different story.
Bottom line: You lie under oath, and someone can prove it, you go to prison. Period.
