		Raid on Mother in Law's doesn't move Anderson one bit By Ken Gimblin and Joe Cronin January 29, 2009

	SAN FRANCISCO--After Federal Agents raided the Redwood City business establishment of Madeleine Gestas 58, the Mother in Law of Barry Bonds personal trainer Greg Anderson, Anderson still is not talking even after the raid and had nothing to say to any reporters who tried to reach him by phone. Anderson who trained Bonds at a Peninsula gym has been shuttled back and forth to prison for contempt of court for not telling the Government what he knows regarding steroid distribution about Bonds and even about any knowledge on implementing steroids to Bonds by injection or otherwise. Anderson did confess to steroid distribution to Giants players but will not discuss Bonds. Simply Anderson is not talking and sources close to Anderson say that Anderson will not talk even after the raid on his Mother in Law's business. Gestas' lawyer Nicholas Rossi says that despite the raid on his client's business Rossi stated that Gestas' knows nothing about the BALCO/perjury trial and has her hands full attending to her own business. Rossi indicated on Wednesday to reporters that the raid was designated to put pressure on her son in law to talk about distributing steroids to Bonds. Anderson has made it clear each time he was sent to prison that was not going to testify after serving the first contempt of court charge and claimed that being sent back to prison after making a deal with the government for not giving up Bonds was double jeopardy. Anderson attorney Mark Geregos has stated on Anderson's behalf that he made the argument for double jeopardy but got nowhere as Anderson in one serving did close to a year at Dublin Correctional and is slated to return if he refuses to talk about steroid distribution to Bonds in the perjury trial scheduled for March 2, Bonds is facing 11 counts of perjury and obstruction of justice. Anderson 42, was recently subpoenaed by the Federal Court and the raid on his mother in law's business is suppose to represent pressure into getting him to talk and work out a plea deal in exchange for information on Bonds. Gestas 58, was served a search warrant by the FBI and the IRS to seize documents on records pertaining to the $1.6 million in unpaid legal judgments in her electronic banking business. If you thought Anderson was over his head in the Bonds case amongst some of the claims against Gestas who is a founder of e-chex international, TGS Global payment solutions, and other financial companies on the Peninsula, a review of court documents revels she was sue more than 20 times for financial disputes with investors, clients, lenders, landlords, and often creditors won those lawsuits but did not get paid.
