The Government not acknowledging Barry Bonds HR record?

Kudos to the thebiglead.com on this story.

At a ceremony naming Ken Griffey Jr to a public diplomacy role, a tipster said that a U.S. government diplomacy official said about Griffey:

"He is fifth on the all-time home run list, along side such greats as Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth and Willie Mays."

Maybe the guy accidentally forgot about Bonds, but I doubt considering Bonds name still rings today. I mean, give me a break. No one has convicted the man of anything despite the suspicions, so show some respect for once. Bonds is the HR king period.
