From what I've seen, I just can't imagine that going after the athletes is that big of a priority. The priority for the Feds is shutting off the flow, and they appear to have accomplished that.

Oh lord. Thanks for the lesson.
I know they go up the ladder.
I know they want the suppliers and distributors.
I know they probably won't go after Bonds or any other athlete.
I know Bonds can concoct a lie to counter the charge.
I wasn't making a comment on what would be the best way to get Bonds. I was saying that there would be a bigger reaction from people if someone drew a direct line to Bonds.
But if they really wanted to reduce usage on the pro level, they should bring Bonds down for it. If they show other athletes that they're trainers/friends will roll over on them in a second to reduce their jail time, I'm sure that would be enough for some people to think better of it.
