Excerpts from unsealed filings in Bonds case
[SIZE=-1]San Jose Mercury News[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]The other expert witness is Dr. Don Catlin, the researcher who discovered "the clear," also known as tetrahydragestrinone, or "THG": [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]"Dr. Catlin will testify that he tested the urine sample Bonds submitted to Major League Baseball in 2003 and determined that the sample was positive for THG and Clomid, an anti-estrogen drug typically used by steroid users to 'jump-start' the replenishment of natural testosterone following its suppression by the use of anabolic steroids. ... Catlin will testify that Bonds's sample is positive for exogenous, that is, foreign, testosterone, itself an anabolic steroid and controlled substance under federal law." [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Prosecutors argue that Bonds' urine test results should be allowed as evidence: [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]"The test results: 1) consistently request that the samples be tested for the presence of anabolic steroids, for no medical treatment purpose; 2) show three separate positive tests for the injectable anabolic steroids methenolone and nandrolone; and 3) show other results (such as testosterone/epitestosterone ratios, suppression of natural testosterone, etc.) that are indicative of anabolic steroid use. Test results reflecting repeated steroid use are directly relevant to the issue of whether the defendant knowingly lied to the grand jury when he denied knowingly using anabolic steroids." [/SIZE]
