Steroid in America in black and white, what is your opinion?

Question

the reaction of America when a black man ( Barry bonds )is accused of using steroid VS a white man ( Floyd Landis ) got caught using steroid on the world stage

Floyd Landis is walking around without any shame with a test result level 11.1 while the normal level is 2.2 that is 5 higher than normal

He Claim the reason his is 5 time higher because he got drunk, next story by him his body always have a high level of it, but this is the only time his test level got this way, and more lies stories etc.

The media and the politicians that have declared a full war on Barry bonds. where are they now?
The media have have called him every Insulting and cursed him in the very worst imaginable way
The politicians call for prosecution to put him in jail.

Where are they now when it come to this white man?

To the contrary about Floyd Landis

The media under reported the story and make up excuse for him. In European news I got the real story about Floyd Landis, and it is a big story there.

The politicians not say a single damn word about that.

Oh America, what a country!!! the land of the free and democracy

What is your opinion?

Answer 1

I am a minority and I it is my opioion that no one knew how the hell Floyd Landis was before this. I didnt and he was not breaking any world records that Americas care about. I can see how you might take this as a black and white thing but I think it is more like a who care about Floyd Landis thing. If it was Lance Armstong who pop on the piss test that would be a differnent story but it wasnt it was Floyd Landis, it feels funny just writting his name, who care about Floyd? He is not a Icon he is just some dumb *** on a bike.

Answer 2

I think the differences are the following:
- The Bonds story has been out for years, Landis- months.
- Bonds is more well known than Landis, hence more publicity.
- Baseball is the national pastime, bike riding is third page news.
- Other famous baseball players have admitted to using steroids, in bike riding it is relatively unknown. Hence Bonds unfairly suffers from some guilt by association.
- Bonds trains at BALCO which has been indicted for providing steroids to athletes. Landis doesn't have such a relationship. Again Bonds is deemed guilty by association, unfair as this may be.
- Bonds is nearing a home run record considered to be unbreakable. That adds to media fascination and hence more coverage.

This has nothing to do with race.

Answer 3

White people are naturally physically weaker than black people... so the need for them to cheat is much much higher... not to mention white people are liars they invented steroids in hopes of defeating black people who dominate in almost every sports arena without the use of steroids... Landis is a prime example of a Christian loser who has proven completely unwilling to accept the truth....

Answer 4

Actually - sports media has already started bashing Landis

this isn't black and white

EDIT

plus - IT HASN'T EVEN BEEN A WEEK YET

what are politicians supposed to do about the Tour de France? Seriously - its in France!

Answer 5

I don't care too much about the juicers in sports. They are overpaid and 0.00001% of the population. What bothers me are all the juicers at the gym and school. These juiced up guys have like five girlfriends, reducing the pool for a normal guy who has not cheated his way through life.

Answer 6

Who Cares? They get paid big bucks to play a child's game! Forgive me if I have no sympathy when ANY of them cheat and get caught! If they don't want to be in the media, they should not put themselves in the spotlight. It's not about black & white!

Answer 7

Most of America could care less about any of that, you are talking about the United States, please express yourself correctly.

The US has only 30% of the population of America and it is only one of 35 American nations.
