San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds, New York Yankees stars Jason Giambi and Gary Sheffield and three other major league baseball players received steroids from a Burlingame nutritional supplement lab, federal investigators were told.

The baseball stars allegedly got the illegal performance-enhancing drugs from the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative through Greg Anderson, Bonds' personal weight trainer and longtime friend, according to information furnished the government and shared with The Chronicle.

In addition to Bonds, Giambi and Sheffield, the other baseball players said to have received steroids from BALCO via Anderson were two former Giants, outfielder Marvin Benard and catcher Benito Santiago, and a former A's second baseman, Randy Velarde.

Oakland Raiders linebacker Bill Romanowski also was said to have received performance-enhancing drugs.

1. That must be part of the reason...

Romanowski can be such an out-of-control wild man, on the field and off!:crazy:

All he had to do was look at the example of another Raider, Lyle Alzado, who died from complications of steroid abuse.:-(

Sometimes I think it's the same way with 'Roids it is with hard drug abuse; athletes think they're going to live forever and be physically invincible; and so the inevitable "fall" cause by the abuse of these things is even harder to accept.

5. Rush got oxycontin, feds were told

gosh knows what goes into the faux-first family each day - they should cut down on the amount of stress they cause

maybe if enough MLB players get in the news, sympathy for Rush might increase, or get lost in the rush for the red meat ...

does this mean the MLB contributes to terra?
