Barry Bonds might be able to hide behind his lies for the time being, but he can’t run from damning urine samples.
Citing a person who has reviewed the evidence in the case, The New York Times reported on Wednesday that authorities detected anabolic steroids in urine samples linked to Bonds that they gathered in their investigation.
Bonds testified to a federal grand jury in 2003 that he used the “cream” and the “clear” but did not know that they were performance-enhancing drugs. The urine 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. The government alleges that Bonds lied under oath. His perjury trial is scheduled to begin March 2.
Before anyone gets up in arms about steroids, steroid use and everything else pertaining to steroids, Bonds isn’t in trouble because he used riods, he’s in trouble because he supposedly lied under oath to a federal grand jury. This isn’t about steroids – it’s about Bonds lying, and it looks like federal investigators are building an airtight case.
