BALCO Founder Victor Conte on NPR radio

Damn you are taking this personally. I'm not an expert. Just speculating. You know "twists and turns to come" and "stay tuned for incriminating details" and stuff like that.

Look, I had no clue that Victor Conte drives a Bentley. You have come on here multiple times pointing it out, though. I just figured, with his drug-dealing business shut down with his arrest and felony conviction, there's no way he's affording that car by selling overpriced zinc pills. So I did a little deduction and took a guess that the athlete who got caught up in his web who he hasn't ratted out (coincidentally, the athlete who earns a ton of money and has a ton to lose if Conte rats him out) might be paying for that Bentley. That doesn't seem like a possibility to you? You have raised about 1,000 half-baked, unsubstantiated possibilities regarding the Chronicle reporters and the Federal investigators. I thought you, of all people, would embrace what seems like a credible explanation for Conte's silence (not to mention the shiny car he's driving).

 

I'm confused. You didn't ask the rules before using nearly 300 posts to trash them over and over again with unsubstantiated BS. Why are you suddenly so concerned now?

 

And why so fucking defensive - it ain't like Ragu is talking about you?

Yes, F-W and others involved have become public figures. If you have opinions about them, feel free to share. Others will judge the worth of that opinion by the opinion they have formed of you.

 

Cranberry, that was an interesting post. How many people have "first-hand knowledge" about whether Barry Bonds used PEDs and about whether he has continually lied about it, including under oath before a grand jury? How many people have "first-hand knowledge" about whatever illegal activities the principles involved in BALCO were up to?

I'd guess a handful of people have "first-hand knowledge." You're right. I'm not one of them. I've never claimed to be one. You haven't seen any slippery, "I know stuff that you don't know, but I am not going to substantiate it, but stay tuned for more 'twists and turns' " posts from me that are never backed up with anything but heaps of speculative BS. Why do you find those posts as compelling as you seem to do? I'd love to hear why...

In fact, when I just speculated about Barry Bonds paying off Victor Conte for his silence (maybe it's slanderous BS, but it is way more credible than some of the BS I have read on here about a bunch of investigative reporters who have never been shown to do anything dishonest, unlike Victor Conte!), unlike Creamora who has thrown every appliance he owns at everyone involved with shutting down BALCO (why?!?!?!), I actually said it was just speculation on my part. Why attack me--I have been pretty up front about what I know and what I don't know?

Do you have "first-hand knowledge" that the Chronicle reporters were part of a criminal conspiracy, the way I seem to remember you claiming after the Ellerman story broke? Or did you form your thinking based on evidence you have read (gasp--you form your ideas by reading!)? Or is the "first-hand knowledge" stuff supposed to be another one of your, "Hey, I am a baseball insider. No really, I know the code of the clubhouse because I sleep in the trainer's room!" posts.

Why not suggest that I ignore creamora (I have no reason to--I don't ignore people just because I disagree with them; but I am just interested in why you choose to weigh in the way you did) because I don't like his 280 speculative and unsubstantiated posts about fantastical wrong doing by a couple of reporters and the Federal investigators (he's never posted about anything else)--who AREN'T the ones who were dealing and using steroids illegally and in blatant disregard for the rules of their sports?

I just found that post interesting. What are creamora's "obvious biases" as you see them?
