YASNY Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 The current guidelines for the steroid problem are indeed toothless. However, it was/is at least a beginning to addressing the problem, instead of the perpetual blind eye policy that was in place prior to the CBA. I recall reading that "athletes" were identified by name in files at Bond's trainer's residence. So there is some truth to that story. I don't believe Bonds, nor any individual athlete was identified. However, since Bonds did deny using while testifying to the grand jury, and it is proven that he did use, then he will also face charges of perjury in addition to any sunstance related charges. I don't believe MLB will be able to keep this mess swept under the rug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastime Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 I don't know if any of you have heard this already, and I won't make it a separate topic, but according to Fox Sports Radio in Los Angeles, the San Francisco Chronicle will have a story later today that says that testimony given to federal investigators stated that Jason Giambi, Barry Bonds, and Gary Sheffield received steroids from Balco. It didn't say that they USED them, only that they RECEIVED them. I heard this on the nationwide feed we get here in Chicago, so please don't shoot the messenger.
