So my point is...why are they targeting Bonds??? He says and I quote "He never "Knowingly" took any steroids"......seems like his loophole if you ask me.....no case as far as I can see so why don't they go after Palmiero???

<Bonds before steroids

Bonds is the target because he's the last man standing and he's threatening Babe Ruths home run record . If Palmeiro or McGuire
were still playing and threatening long time records they would be targets too .

I think it's the timing of the events that has Bonds in the crosshairs.

Palmero could have taken after his appearance before Congress, while the evidence against Bonds was from before.

They don't have nearly as much evidence that Palmero used steriods before his testimony. If I were Barry, I'd me more afraid of the potential IRS investigation than I would be about the whole grand jury thing, I think the IRS sees this as a prime time to make an example of someone - especially with how low public opinion is of Barry.
