Faith Based Science

On what peer-reviewed studies does this author base this on? Just goes to show you that anyone can get a book published these days.

Notice how Keating insinuates that substance use that is only alleged is actually proven, undeniable fact. Yes, he does mention that these charges are "according to "published reports" and the like, but it is very clear (so to speak) that he holds these truths to be self-evident. And you should to, because hey, some writers said so.

There are two steps conveniently left out of this leap of logic. The first is proving Bonds guilty of something, anything...if only he'd knock over a meth lab, by god, we'd have him then! But Bonds has not been proven guilty of a single thing; he's never even ever been formally charged with anything.

Then, we would like to see some repeatable, scientific studies showing what effect, if any, steroid use has on the ability to hit a baseball. We would also like to know which other players have used similar substances, particularly pitchers, who circumstancial evidence shows may have gotten a greater benefit than hitters. Speculation about how someones career would have looked if he hadn't used the substances we can't prove he's used is right along the lines of claiming Mission Accomplished.
