The heat is being turned up on Barry Bonds as his perjury trial approaches.
Citing a person who has reviewed the evidence in the case, the New York Timesreported on Wednesday that authorities detected anabolic steroids in urine samples linked to Bonds that they gathered in their investigation. Bonds testifiedto a federal grand jury in 2003 that he used the "cream" and the "clear" but did not know that they were performance-enhancing drugs. Theurine samples could prove the existence of other steroids in his body. During that testimony, Bonds was asked if he ever took steroids, and he answered no. Thegovernment alleges that Bonds lied under oath. His perjury trial is scheduled to begin March 2. Meanwhile, federal authorities have taken another avenue intheir pursuit of Bonds. Agents raided the home of the mother-in-law of Bonds' personal trainer Greg Anderson. Madeleine Gestas is the target of a taxinvestigation that Anderson's lawyer says is aimed at pressuring the trainer to testify at Bonds' upcoming trial on charges on lying to a grand jury.Mark Geragos, a lawyer for Anderson, said he believes the raid Wednesday is in response to his refusal to tell prosecutors whether Anderson would testify. Theattorney said some 20 FBI and IRS agents showed up at the Redwood City, Calif., home of Madeline Gestas armed with a search warrant and seized miscellaneousdocuments. Gestgas, 60, has been the subject of a tax probe, but Geragos described the raid as part of an ongoing effort by the federal government tointimidate Anderson and coerce him to cooperate in the government's case against Bonds. "They trashed the place and took all kinds of stuff," hesaid. "The execution was illegal and a grotesque example of bullying." Arlette Lee, a spokesman for the IRS, acknowledged agents had been atGestas' home but declined comment on the nature of the activity. Last June, the government sent a letter to Nicole Gestas, a local fitness trainer whomarried Anderson in the summer of 2007, notifying her that she was the target of a federal conspiracy investigation. "How much more obvious can theyget?" said Paula Canny, an attorney who worked the BALCO case and a close friend of Anderson. Geragos said he received a letter on Monday from federalprosecutors wanting to know if Anderson is going to testify in the Bonds trial. "They can't demand that. It's sheer bullying," Geragossaid.Anderson served two terms in federal prison for refusing to appear in front of separate grand juries during the government's investigation of Bonds.Federal prosecutors believe Anderson can testify, among other things, that calendars and diary entries that document steroid use by a "BB" is in factBonds. Anderson initially served 15 days in prison in July 2006, and then again from Aug. 28, 2006, until Nov. 15, 2007, in a federal correctional institute inDublin, Calif. He also served three months in federal prison earlier in 2006 after he pleaded guilty in the BALCO steroid scandal. Geragos has insisted forsome time that Anderson will never testify against Bonds. "My client is never going to speak," he told ESPN.com in March of 2007. Geragos saidAnderson received a government subpoena last week demanding his testimony at trial. If he refuses to testify, he could be sent to prison again. Informationfrom ESPN.com investigative reporters Mike Fish, T.J. Quinn and Mark Fainaru-Wada and The Associated Press was used in this report.

This is worthless breaking news. I feel like I've heard this same story 10 times before already. I think MLB needs to move on from the steroid era. Theyare just dragging on this crap much longer than anyone cares.

I knew they were always going to get him but seriously if he never lied this wouldn't have been this big. The media has always hated Barry Bonds and he hasalways hated them. Never liked the way Bonds treated his teammates so I never liked him but he was doing what everyone else in the MLB was doing. I want to seethe commish get nailed because he knew damn well what was going on and allowed it, not the players.

this news is significant because the court now has serious evidence against Bonds in their perjury trial. basically, instead of us just talkingabout Bonds being a steroid-user, we could actually be seeing him go to prison in the near future.Originally Posted by HarlemToTheBronx

Good.
Barry's HR record still deserves that little * next to 762.
Hank Aaron is the true HR king.

Using only his pre-steroid career, he is still better than 99% of the people to ever play the game. Including it......yeah you know.
