06:15 AM ET 01.29 | Federal prosecutors preparing for Barry Bonds's perjury trial are said to have evidence that links Bonds to the use of performance-enhancing drugs other than the "cream" and the "clear," the designer substances that have become synonymous with the Bonds case. A person who has reviewed the evidence said that the authorities detected anabolic steroids in urine samples linked to Bonds that they gathered in connection with their investigation. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity. The evidence could be significant because questions have been raised about whether the "clear," which like the "cream" was created to avoid detection in drug tests, was technically a steroid under federal law when Bonds testified before a federal grand jury in November 2003. It was that testimony, in which Bonds denied knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs, that led to his indictment on perjury charges in 2007. A trial on those charges is set to begin March 2. When Bonds testified, he said he took the "cream" and the "clear" but did not believe they were performance-enhancing drugs. Specifically, Bonds said that he thought the "cream" was a rubbing balm for arthritis and that the "clear" was flaxseed oil. Asked directly before the grand jury if he took steroids, Bonds said no.

It's becoming quite clear that pro athletes are mostly a bunch of cheats! They'll do anything to give themselves a chance at the professional level. Question is: Why is Bonds being made the scapegoat for the steriods era? Yes, he's been an **** to reporters, but this thing has become entirely personal. Federal prosecutors have nothing better to do than chase Bonds around for lying under oath. Yet they won't do a single thing against the Bush/Cheney liars who lied to Congress and the public, dragged this country into Iraq, resulting in the deaths of thousands of US servicemen and women. How idiotic. What frauds.
