why was barry bonds gaining so much weight? even though he hasn't testified in this trial, greg anderson was the focus of today's proceedings. a buyhood friends of barry bonds and the homerun king's personal trainer, anderson appears to be a source of steroids for several major league players. first jason giambi, a superstar for the oakland as and the new york yankees who met anderson during an all star trip with barry bonds to japan. he mailed him steroids called cream in the clear and referred to it as an alternative that would not show on a test and would have steroid-like properties. he referred him to his brother jeremy also a major leaguer who also received the cream in the clear. he had access to some peds or performance end dancing drugs and thought it might be a good idea to go on and use these peds. all of that implies but obviously doesn't prove that he knowingly took steroids he got from anderson, a point made by bonds' employee. john conte took the stand and talked about changes he saw in bonds in 1999 and 2000. hi
