ESPN - Barry Bonds'
former mistress testified Monday that he blamed a 1999 elbow injury on
steroid use, and that the body and behavior of baseball's home run king
changed during their nine-year relationship.
Called by prosecutors
to the witness stand, Kimberly Bell choked up as she recalled Bonds
once threatening "to cut my head off and leave me in a ditch," an
outburst prosecutors attribute to steroid use. The defense portrayed
Bell as an unreliable witness, hungry to capitalize on her affair with
Bonds, and Bell acknowledged that the relationship benefited her
financially.
Bonds, who holds the major league record for home
runs in a career, is accused of four counts of making false statements
and one of obstruction for telling a federal grand jury in 2003 --
months after his relationship with Bell ended -- that he never knowingly
used performance-enhancing drugs.
Bell took the stand Monday morning after San Francisco Giants
clubhouse manager Mike Murphy nervously testified that Bonds needed a
bigger hat for the 2002 season. Prosecutors say that testimony is
important because an enlarged head is a side effect of human growth
hormone use.
HAHA, Barry you are such a piece of shit and your record means nothing in real fans eyes. You are gonna get thrown in jail and laughed at because of you big ass head. Probably the best thing to happen to baseball in a while.
