You could say he wouldn't get in anyway, but there's a chance that once Bonds gets in (which he will eventually) the rest of the roid guys could get in, too. So he probably thinks he could still get in the HOF.
My belief anyway.

its an attempt to prevent him from collection the 150 million he has left on his contract. You know dman well the Yankee's are pushing for that.
He's not gonna get into the hall anyways if he doesnt get banned. Look at Bonds, he's not sniffing it.
