Barry Bonds’ Personal Trainer is Trying to Avoid Testifying. This Could Sink Bonds!

by @ 12:51 am. Filed under Sports

Barry Bonds’ personal trainer Greg Anderson is trying to avoid testifying in court about a recording, where he admits he gave Bonds undetectable performance enhancing drugs. Why is he trying to avoid testifying in court? Probably because Bonds has already claimed he never used performance enhancing drugs and the testimony would put Bonds in serious legal trouble. I say the judge better hold Anderson in contempt of court.

Bonds’ personal trainer refuses to testify

SAN FRANCISCO – Barry Bonds’ personal trainer refused to testify Thursday to the federal grand jury investigating the San Francisco slugger for perjury.

Greg Anderson, who served three months in prison after pleading guilty last year for his role in the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative steroid scandal, could be sent back to prison if found in contempt of court for refusing to testify.

A hearing will be held next Wednesday, and Judge William Alsup said he would rule next week on whether Anderson should be found in contempt.

Anderson’s attorney, Mark Geragos, said his client should not have to testify because he was the victim of an illegal government wiretap that he said resulted in a recording of Anderson saying he provided Bonds with “undetectable” drugs to help him beat baseball’s drug testing program in 2003.

The details of the recording were first reported in October 2004 by the San Francisco Chronicle, which obtained a copy from a confidential news source.

Prosecutor Jeff Nedrow revealed Thursday that his office had obtained a copy of the recording last summer.

Alsup ruled that the recording was “not a wiretap, but a privately recorded conversation with a witness,” and that there was no legal reason for Anderson not to testify.

Nedrow said he wanted to question Anderson about the recording and a “mountain” of other evidence.

If Martha Stewart was able to do her time then Roid-head puffed-up Barry Bonds should have no problem doing his. Once he’s found guilty. Bonds should have left baseball in disgrace after he was exposed. Not only did he get exposed for the steroids, but his “mistress” exposed that his roid rage would flair up around her at times. But Barry had no shame. He stayed in the game and points to heaven as if his abilities are God given. As if God is smiling on his actions. It’s a disgrace to sport and faith.

And he’s not the only one. More people than most are willing to admit are a bunch of dope using frauds.

    Sadly, I think this whole era has devalued most, if not all, baseball records. I just don’t know if anyone is clean anymore (or at least if anyone was clean in the mid-to-late 90’s).

    Think back at some of the people who hit 50+ homers.

    * Brady Anderson – a leadoff hitter whose highest total in any other year was 24.
    * Luis Gonzalez – he hit 57 one year and didn’t hit more than 31 in any other year.
    * Sammy Sosa – he also puffed up physically and hit unthinkable numbers of homers.
    * Mark McGwire – I seriously thought he was clean for the longest time. He hit 49 as a skinny rookie in 1987. I figured that he was legit even when hitting 60 or 70. However, his testimony before Congress and his admission on andro changed my opinion of him.
    * Bonds – Jumped from 49 (his career high) in 2000 to 73 the next year. No question he was juicing.
    * Palmeiro’s career high was 47. Not unthinkable. However, he may have been a 20-30 HR guy who juiced and got to be a 30-40 HR guy.
    * A-Rod – he hit 50 twice and in the 40’s five other times. I would like to think he’s clean, but who knows?
    * Griffey – he hit 50 twice and in the 40’s five other times. Again, I would like to think he’s clean, but he has been hurt a lot (common with steroid freaks).

    I’m sure other factors led to an overall increase in homers: Expansion, ball maybe strung more tightly, Colorado and Arizona air.

    I’m with you, though. I hope they bring Bonds down. And I hope it happens before he approaches Hank Aaron. He did it the right way and his record deserves to remain unbesmirched. And they’ll have to take Bonds out. He doesn’t have enough respect for the game to bow out gracefully.

    rightonpeachtree, you are Right On!

    Guys like McGwire and Bonds were good without the dope, but their using the dope gave them longevity in the game and increased hitting power. This is why they broke records and were able to continue playing at a high level after injury.

    I look at the leaders in most of today’s sports with a suspect eye. I figure auto racing is probably the only one where the participants are not using dope. But of course we know they cheat by rigging their cars. NASCAR has tried to keep things under control, but it happens.

    Well, at least politicians don’t cheat at their “game”.

    LOLOLOL

    I crack myself up sometimes. :o )
