If people cared about the truth, they wouldn't have settled for a simple "Palmeiro lied" answer.
And I have to stress that all those things happened after Bonds was strongly linked to BALCO and everything, which already made steroids a notorious issue in MLB. Without that, Palmeiro wouldn't have to go to the congress at first place.
Just look at NFL. People cared little about steroids abuse over there, because they didn't have some hated player linked to steroids to hype the issue up.
