Bonds, other athletes subpoenaed
By Rich Draper / MLB.com
SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants superstar Barry Bonds is among several high-profile athletes subpoenaed by a federal grand jury investigating Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative BALCO, a nutritional supplement firm, it was reported in the San Francisco Chronicle.
The investigation is being led by the Internal Revenue Service, assisted by the Food and Drug Administration, the San Mateo County Narcotics Task Force and Olympics drug-testing officials, the report stated.
The company's offices in the suburb of Burlingame were reportedly raided on Sept. 3, and two days later, agents searched the home of Greg Anderson, one of Bonds' personal weight trainers.
Victor Conte, president of BALCO. told the Chronicle and the San Jose Mercury News that his top clients are being asked to testify about tetrahydrogestrinone, or THG, a steriod.
BALCO claims it determines mineral and trace element deficiencies through blood and urine analysis and then proved athletes with supplements. Bonds has worked with the firm since 2000.
Bonds is pictured on the Web site of BALCO's supplement wing Scientific Nutrition for Advanced Conditioning (SNAC). The Web site lists other high-profile athletes, past and present, as clients, including former NFL quarterback John Elway and current Oakland Raider Bill Romanowski; the Seattle Supersonic basketball team; tennis players Jim Courier and Ivan Lendl; and several Olympic athletes and professional bodybuilders.
Bonds' agent, Scott Boras, told the Chronicle recently the case "really doesn't involve" his client, the lone baseball player among athletes associated with BALCO. The report indicted those testifying would do so later in October or in November.
Documents relating to the investigation are sealed, and no agencies involved have commented publicly, only acknowledging searches have been conducted.
