Recording reveals trainer injected Babo By Ken Gimblin & Joe Cronin February 5, 2009     SAN FRANCISCO--U.S.District Court Judge Susan Illston ruled on evidence Wednesday whether to permit a recording that the government presented in a conversation between ex-Giants outfielder Barry Bonds trainer Greg Anderson and former Bonds business manager Steve Hoskins discussing steroids injections of the MLB home run king that took place during the baseball season in 2003. The U.S. Attorney's office is asking Illston to allow the evidence in play as it shows that Greg Anderson on the recording describes where and how he injected the former Giant outfielder saying to Hoskins in the recording in the Giants clubhouse as former Giant catcher Benito Santiago walked by in unsealed documents, "No matter what happens is, they put too much in one area and actually ball up and puddle, and what happens is it will eat away and make an indentation, it's a cyst that makes a big cyst, and you have to drain it, oh yeah it's gnarly, hi Benito, oh it's gnarly." said Anderson in the recording. Hoskins said the reason for recording Anderson at that time was for ex-Giants hitting coach and Babo Father the late Bobby Bonds who Hoskins wanted to show that his son was in fact using steroids. Bonds attorney Allen Ruby said that if Anderson is taking the fifth and not testifying in this or any further matters concerning Bonds that entering this key piece of evidence would be irrelevant since Anderson has not spoke of the recordings and will not further testify on any subject matters concerning Bonds, "if Anderson does not testify for the government, the truth of any statement he may (or may not) have made out of court can not be so tested, Mr.Bonds will be stripped of the opportunity to confront and cross examine the most prejudicial but least reliable evidence against him." said Ruby Ex-girlfriend Kimberly Bell: Bonds Lawyers in court on Wednesday tried to suppress recorded conversations that did not include Bonds including sexual behavior, testicle shrinkage, head size, hat size, hand size, foot size, and voice mails that Bonds left on Bell's answering machine. Bell in a Playboy interview said that Bonds injected himself in the groin area to improve his sexual potency that went bad. According to an interview with Anderson's ex cell mate from Dublin Correction who told the story that Anderson told him in prison that Bonds injected himself in the groin that he grew as big as a Coke can and Bell had to drive him to the hospital the day before a World Series game in 2002 to get Babo drained. Anderson ex-cell mate Marlon Leftwich was serving a six month sentence and shared the cell space with Anderson who told Leftwich that Bonds was a user and that he told Bonds not to use so much steroids but Bonds blew Anderson off and kept using the stuff in his push to hit for more power. Leftwich did an revealing interview in the September 27, 2007 edition of SF Weekly and the Government has not considered interviewing him as a witness in the Bonds trial which begins March 2nd. According to talk show hosts Michael Duca and Scary Barry they have both said that the Cream was not illegal until 2005 and that Bonds used the Clear in 2003 therefore the government has to drop it's case. The government however says that even if the Clear was not illegal in 2003 or before that fact is Bonds lied about using steroids and the point of all of this is perjury and not his use of the Clear in 2003. Legal experts are saying that if the evidence against Bonds is not permitted that could hurt the crux of the government's case in regards to the doping calenders, Bell and Hoskins testimony, and if the Clear was legal before 2003. Dr. Don Catlin in unsealed documents found that Bonds had positive traces of THG from a MLB test survey in 2003 when the drug was undetectable, the samples were seized by federal agents in 2004 from a MLB testing lab and this was after the players were promised that all tests would be destroyed after the results came out.
