Former friend tells feds Barry Bonds used steroids
Barry Bonds’ former best friend and business associate told investigators that the San Francisco Giants slugger used steroids and suffered “roid rages,” his lawyer told The New York Times.
Steve Hoskins also told investigators that Bonds gave him thousands of dollars to give to two of Bonds’ girlfriends, Michael Cordoza, Hoskins’ lawyer, told the newspaper.
Cordoza told The Times that Hoskins spoke to investigators, but would not say if he has testified before the grand jury investigating Bonds for perjury and tax evastion. The grand jury is meeting Thursday and again next week. After that, the grand jury’s term expires.
It’s official - everyone hates Barry Bonds. Even his best friend. How much of a jerk does someone have to be for his best friend to rat him out to the feds?! Forget passing Babe Ruth - this is a major accomplishment.
