Bonds to sue
But it's not a libel suit. Sounds like a waste of time that will hurt Barry more than it helps. Unless Bonds can dispute the truth of what was written (which, will be pretty darn hard to prove), he'll just have to accept that his career and his numbers will be forever tainted. I'd say it was sad, but hey, Bonds did this to himself.
The best part of all this is the writers, and the paper, are not backing down and not looking to settle. If Bonds was trying to bluff them, it looks like it has been called.
