Pats QB Brady tied to Barry Bonds trainer Written by: Associated Press ¦ 8/16/2006 Source:
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Federal prosecutors asked a judge yesterday to throw Barry Bonds' personal trainer back in jail if he again refuses to testify, this time before a newly assembled grand jury that is reportedly also investigating track coach Trevor Graham.
In a statement to prosecutors about his intentions to stay mum, Greg Anderson also evoked the name of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, saying the two had spoken over the phone but never made further contact.
"I had only one brief conversation with Tom Brady regarding a potential future workout," Anderson said in the statment to prosecutors that was included in court documents unsealed yesterday. "I never had another phone conversation with him and never discussed it with anyone."
Paula Canny, an Anderson attorney and friend, said Brady's name appears along with "10 to 20" other athletes that Anderson's grand jury subpoena lists as people the trainer should be prepared to answer questions about. Canny said investigators may have gotten Brady's name from Anderson phone records seized by the government, though Anderson doesn't refer to any other athletes in his brief statement.
Brady attended the same Bay Area high school as Bonds.
Really not that shocking, the dude is over committed to his career, and he is a work out machine. No surprise that he thought about "performance enhancing". This article seems to indicate he thought better of it and chickened out, but who really knows?
I would bet good dollars that the "tracks are covered" either way. Look how much they have on Bonds and they still can't do a goddamn thing about it.
My guess is that not every person that Greg Anderson trained wanted to juice, or was juicing. If you have ever been around "Athletes" (not muscleheads,) but athletes that juice, they for the most part are very very secretive, fearing that someone will blame any or all of their athletic abilities or achievements on the sauce.
For the even slightly naive about all matters steriods, it wouldv'e outwardly appeared as if Anderson had a fantastic training regimen in keeping Bonds, Sheffield and some of those other old dogs strong and healthy in their later years. So if you can't see why someone (being naive) wouldn't have wanted to train with a celebrity trainer such as Anderson, then you yourself are naive.
Muscleheads by and large are blabbermouths that would gladly go through their whole steroid regimen, by which means they acquired their enhancers, and or with whome they are getting their sh1t from as if it was a badge of honor and courage all of the chemicals that they were sticking into their bodies (in the middle of a packed a$$ gym, the middle of a shopping mall, or loudly in the gym parking lot in a loud and booming voice).
Pats QB Brady says he never worked out with BALCO trainer Written by: Associated Press ¦ 8/17/2006 Source:
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -Tom Brady was looking for a place to work out when he called Barry Bonds' personal trainer ``five or six years ago'' but the two never got together, the New England Patriots quarterback said Thursday.
``That was the first of it and the last of it,'' Brady said after practice.
Government lawyers are investigating whether the San Francisco Giants slugger lied under oath when he told an earlier grand jury he didn't know whether his trainer, Greg Anderson, gave him substances that were steroids.
In a statement to federal prosecutors unsealed on Wednesday, Anderson said he had also spoken to Brady on the phone.
``I had only one brief conversation with Tom Brady regarding a potential future workout,'' Anderson said. ``I never had another phone conversation with him and never discussed it with anyone.''
Brady, who attended the same Bay Area high school as Bonds, confirmed the details of Anderson's statement and stressed that he never did work out with Anderson. ``No athlete likes to be brought up in stuff like that,'' he said.
A two-time Super Bowl MVP, Brady was the guest of first lady Laura Bush at the 2002 State of the Union, where the President singled him out as a role model for drug-free sports.
``Trying to be a role model for children, that's what I'm all about. That's what I stand for,'' Brady said. ``I have a family I represent. I have a team I represent. I try to do that the best I can.''
