Barry Bonds knew he was getting jacked

Barry Bonds

In an unexpected twist to the whole Barry Bonds/steroid saga…you might want to sit down; you’re not going to believe this. Are you ready? Are you sure you’re ready? BALCO founder Victor Conte says Barry Bonds not only knew what designer steroids he was being supplied with, but “took an active interest in what those substances contained.” ESPN says…

The disclosure comes to light amid reports that Patrick Arnold, the Illinois chemist who created the designer steroid THG, has given a wide-ranging interview about his role in the BALCO affair to Sports Illustrated. In an e-mail to ESPN on Saturday afternoon, Arnold labeled as erroneous reports that he will talk about Bonds’ steroid knowledge.

A source has said that Bonds specifically came to BALCO to “get jacked”, and although Conte denies having any dealings with BALCO’s MLB clients, he confided with said source that both he and Bonds knew exactly what was going on.

We at The Sports Dirt are reeling from this news. I mean, it just came out of left field. Who saw this coming?
