<p>Which is why he may get off with no jail time. His lawyers found a loophole to push his dope-drenched body through. Problem is you can pass a law saying The Clear isn’t a steroid, but that won’t change the scientific reality of the molecule itself. You can’t legislate scientific facts. “Steroid” is a chemical term that is defined by the chemical structure, not by lawyers’ arguments. When they changed the law the chemical structure didn’t change. It was steroid before 2005 and it remained one after 2005. The only thing that changed was its legality. Bonds was doper before 2005 and if he continued taking the stuff he remained one after. If the question is whether Bonds was guilty of using performance-enhancing steroids, the answer is yes. The notion that by using this particular brand of dope he was one step ahead of the authorities for a while does nothing to restore his “innocence.” </p>
