SAN FRANCISCO -- Barry Bonds' personal trainer told federal agents he gave steroids to several baseball players, according to documents released Tuesday.


No players were identified, and it was unclear whether the trainer, Greg Anderson, gave specific names.


Anderson was one of four men charged last week in a steroid-distribution ring that supplied athletes with steroids and other banned substances. All four pleaded not guilty. No athletes have been charged.


Federal officials released two affidavits Tuesday that supported search warrants used in raids on Anderson's home in September.


"Inside Anderson's residence, agents found steroids, syringes and other paraphernalia associated with steroid distribution activities," the documents said. "In addition, agents found files identifying specific athletes. These files contained calendars, which appear to contain references to daily doses of steroids and growth hormones."


The indictment announced last week said federal agents found about $63,920 in cash in a locked safe at Anderson's residence during the first raid.


"Some of the money was broken up into separate envelopes with the first names of known athlete clients written on them," the documents released Tuesday said.


The new documents said Anderson initially denied distributing steroids in discussions with federal agents but later said he sometimes "gave" steroids to people he knew.


"Upon further questioning, Anderson admitted that he had given steroids to several professional baseball players," the documents said.


Anderson and Bonds were not immediately available for comment Tuesday.
 
This whole deal is stupid. As the ESPN commercials said a while ago "chicks dig the long ball". It's true for all baseball fans. Granted, it takes amazing skill and talent to play the game at the level they play at, but to get those bodies to produce amazing results year after year in a season that has 162 games, you NEED something extra. People who think that professional athletes do not use steroids are STUPID and the people who think it is wrong are just bitter because they aren't talented enough to get to that level. Who gives a shit whether they juice or not? Is it affecting you? No. If people would just leave it alone like they have for the last 30 years, everything would be just dandy.

Sorry for the rant, but it had to get out!
