Bonds mum on new book
Once again, Barry Bonds is in the news for the wrong reasons. According to an upcoming book written by two newspaper reporters in San Francisco, he used a variety of performance-enhancing drugs, including steroids and human growth hormones. This alleged drug use started in 1998 and lasted for at least five seasons.
Part of that book Game of Shadows appears in the March 13 issue of Sports Illustrated. Bonds said he won't look at it, and won't comment further.
That's a wise idea because Bonds' tendency to make outrageous and foolish statements would make it very unlikely that he would defuse the whole situation. At this point, even if he voluntarily took a drug test and it turned out to be clean, we have no way of knowing if Bonds' achievements are 100 percent legit. I don't know if he took steroids, but wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he actually admitted to doing so.
