Bonds cheating after all?

Sports

Reading about sea-based X-band radar and noticed something funny:

Her radar is described by Lt. Gen Trey Obering (director of MDA) as being able to track an object the size of a baseball over San Francisco from the Chesapeake Bay (approximately 2900 miles). The radar will guide land-based missiles from Alaska and California, as well as in-theatre assets.

As of 2006, the system has undergone six successful intercept tests (since 2002).

Of baseballs over San Francisco? Maybe Barry Bonds has been cheating after all!
