Barry Bonds' attorney said Friday that the Giants' slugger is saddened by news reports linking him to possible steroid use, but he insisted that his client is innocent. "He did not take anything illegal. His best friend in the world (trainer Greg Anderson) did not give him anything illegal," attorney Mike Rains said on the steps of an Oakland courthouse, flanked by some two dozen reporters and news crews. Rains was responding to a front-page story published today in The Chronicle detailing Bonds' testimony before a federal grand jury investigating the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative, known as BALCO. Federal prosecutors accuse the firm, and Anderson, of distributing undetectable steroids called "the cream," a balm rubbed on the body, and "the clear," a substance taken orally. A grand jury in February indicted Anderson on charges of money laundering and conspiracy to distribute steroids. Bonds testified he had received such substances from Anderson, his boyhood friend and trainer, but believed them to be flaxseed oil and an arthritis cream. "He does not believe any of those substances were any type of steroid or anabolic substance," Rains said. Rains said Bonds used the substances only sporadically after the death of his father, former Giants all-star Bobby Bonds, in August 2003, and saw no physical effect. "He did not take the items in concert or systematically, like steroids have to be taken to have an effect," he added. He said Bonds also was saddened by reports, first published Thursday in The Chronicle, that Yankees slugger Jason Giambi admitted to the same grand jury that he used steroids he received from Anderson. Barry stills says no

It is scary that grand jury testimony is leaked in this manner, I would rather see the proper course of law take place.

Reading the article , just got to wonder how he will not get charged with perjury down the road…

This isnt quite the final shoe to drop but very close.

Barry Bonds told a federal grand jury that he used a clear substance and a cream supplied by the Burlingame laboratory now enmeshed in a sports doping scandal, but he said he never thought they were steroids, The Chronicle has learned. Federal prosecutors charge that the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative, known as BALCO, distributed undetectable steroids to elite athletes in the form of a clear substance that was taken orally and a cream that was rubbed onto the body. Bonds testified that he received and used clear and cream substances from his personal strength trainer, Greg Anderson, during the 2003 baseball season but was told they were the nutritional supplement flaxseed oil and a rubbing balm for arthritis, according to a transcript of his testimony reviewed by The Chronicle. During the three-hour proceeding, two prosecutors presented Bonds with documents that allegedly detailed his use of a long list of drugs: human growth hormone, Depo-Testosterone, undetectable steroids known as "the cream" and "the clear," insulin and Clomid, a drug for female infertility sometimes used to enhance the effect of testosterone.

The Dowd Report does this very welll Dowd Report

Its sad so many players who have attained their positions by hard work , pactice and good coaching will be under suspicion and tainted by this. I think it wrong to isolate baseball as the only sport with a problem here. Its long time rather than find scape goats and villians that we as a culture look at the inordinate import we place on sport and how this effects us as a people.

Nedrow asked Jeremy Giambi why he trusted Anderson. "I don't know, I guess -- I mean, you're right," Jeremy Giambi testified. "I probably shouldn't have trusted the guy. But I just felt like, you know, what he had done for Barry and, you know, I didn't think the guy would send me something that was, you know, Drano or something, you know, I mean, I hope he wouldn't." Nedrow suggested Jeremy Giambi probably also trusted Anderson's drugs because his brother had taken them, too. Said Jeremy: "Yeah, and Jason didn't die." very scary......

Authors of story are on the fan right now. Its one thing to suspect , its another to have it confirmed... This story becomes even more huge....

New York Yankees star Jason Giambi told a federal grand jury that he had injected himself with human growth hormone during the 2003 baseball season and had started using steroids at least two years earlier, The Chronicle has learned. Giambi has publicly denied using performance-enhancing drugs, but his Dec. 11, 2003, testimony in the BALCO steroids case contradicts those statements, according to a transcript of the grand jury proceedings reviewed by The Chronicle. The onetime Oakland A's first baseman and 2000 American League Most Valuable Player testified that in 2003, when he hit 41 home runs for the Yankees, he had used several different steroids obtained from Greg Anderson, weight trainer for San Francisco Giants star Barry Bonds. In his testimony, Giambi described how he had used syringes to inject human growth hormone into his stomach and testosterone into his buttocks. Giambi also said he had taken "undetectable" steroids known as "the clear" and "the cream" -- one a liquid administered by placing a few drops under the tongue, the other a testosterone-based balm rubbed onto the body. Giambi Admits using Steroids

try each of these one method should work 1/ Maximize the window, then hold down the control button and close the window. In most cases the window will then open maximumized by default. 2/drag the corners of the window to fill the screen and only then click on the maximize button. Close IE, and when you start it again you should be all set.

thank you Bart

That the import of winning has taken such a significance at the college level similar to professional level is a outrage, one we need be fighting tooth and nail to remove from our schools. Its time for the major academic institutions stand up and return to being educators. This pressure does consequent in wrong decisions as in Herms firing. I hear that, its how things are, and they will only get worse if we do nothing about it. Win now pay later... we need do better than that..........

- We disagree , I feel he was not given full opportunity others before him black coaches to this day are on a very short leash. They have given up in midstream. There are times it better to lose in the short term for the winning is greater down the road, this was a case of that in my opinion. There are many significant impications to this issue far above a better bcs standing..... Jackie Robinson would not have had the impact he did if not for the support he received. There is a huge problem here and it need be addressed I just wonder how long.....
