Federal investigators were told that Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi and Gary Sheffield and three other major-league baseball players received steroids from a Burlingame nutritional supplement lab. According to info from the government and The Chronicle the major league players received the illegal performance-enhancing drugs from the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative through Greg Anderson, who is Bonds' personal weight trainer and longtime friend. Anderson allegedly obtained a so-called designer steroid known as "the clear" and a testosterone-based steroid known as "the cream" and supplied the substances to all six baseball players. Bonds was said to have received human growth hormone, a powerful substance that legally cannot be distributed without a prescription.
What type of examples are these baseball players setting for the kids who look up to them? They are promoting it is okay to cheat in the sports world just to become the best. What happened to playing to the best of your ability and earning and working hard for what you want? These major league players need to get their act together because it definitely isn't a good name for MLB. This is the first or second or third or so forth incident of steroids in MLB, they need to tighten up on the players because they are setting bad examples.
