ajc: Dale Murphy no fan of Bonds (RR)

Break out that bottle of aged Neogonadil Bruco…time for another Dale Murphy interview.

Q. Doesn’t the argument that Bonds never failed a drug test fall flat, since Major League Baseball didn’t begin testing until recently?

A. Oh yeah. We didn’t test. You’re exactly right. It’s been kind of a flawed way we’ve approached this whole thing from the players’ side and from the commissioner’s side. We’ve made some mistakes. I just think in one big step, we could go a long way. Now, are guys going to get by steroids tests? Are they still going to take that chance? Maybe, but boy I tell you one thing, I think it sends a great message to up-and-coming athletes that you get involved in this stuff, your career could be over.”
