But an argument can be made as to whether Bud Selig and others in baseball management are even more to blame that those who used enhancers.

Not a good argument, unless Selig was operating the syringe injecting the bovine growth hormone. Bonds can't blame it on anyone but himself.

And if he's the whipping boy, it's because he's the one still in the sport; he's the one climbing the record boards on the backs of chemists and veterinarians.

...but how do you have that when people here and elsewhere fall back on the name calling.

All I ask is "are the names accurate?"

As far as I've heard, no actual sightings or actual accusations have been made about injecting human growth hormones. Bonds' has been accused of using the clear and creams. But, that may be a distinction without a difference. Don't forget that Bond's never failed a drug test as set up by Bud Selig and his board.

I still stand behind my argument that Selig and Baseball management are to blame for not taking a stand, and allowing an atmosphere to develop where an opening was left to find enhancers that weren't covered in standard tests. Now, instead of taking the blame, they're more than happy to throw Bonds to the wolves.

You may have had me on the argument of him being the whipping boy because he's still in the sport, and chasing records, but weakened your argument with the gratuitous reference to the chemists and veterinarians.

"All I ask is "are the names accurate?""

No.
