SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Barry Bonds angrily sidestepped questions about his role in baseball's steroid scandal upon his arrival at spring training Tuesday, pronouncing himself weary but ready to begin his pursuit of Hank Aaron's home run record.

"I don't know what cheating is," he said. "I don't believe steroids can help your eye-hand coordination, technically hit a baseball. I just don't believe it. That's my opinion."

According to the Chronicle, Bonds testified to the grand jury in December 2003 that he used a clear substance and a cream given to him by a trainer who was indicted in a steroid-distribution ring, but said he didn't know if they were steroids. Prosecutors believe the substances were two steroids at the center of the BALCO scandal

I saw the presser. Bonds made an idiot of himself.
He did not help his case one bit.
Wow. I had the honor of watching his Father, Bobby Bonds play. What a difference. Bobby was a class act all the way. Too bad his more gifted son didn't take after him.
Meanwhile the person who testified truthfully to the Grand Jury is being ripped unmercifully by the press!
Watching Bond's presser made me think of Canseco and Jim Carey.
Jim- "I'm Jose Canseco...I'M JOSE CANSECOOOOOO"
Canseco- "I'm Tanya Harding...I'M TANYA HARDIIIIIIIING"
Canseco is like the jelly of the month club......the comical gift that just keeps on giving.
How O.J. of him. I was waiting for him to say he'll catch the real cheaters.
"I don't know what cheating is"... Barry MUST have read Pete Rose's Book ..................
