Heres the full story- http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3452684
For those of you too lazy to read it heres the scoop:
Greg Anderson is Barry Bond's personal trainer, who was held in prison for contempt for 13 and a half months. Now that he has been released his wife is the target of a grand jury investigation.
Clearly, the government is using whatever means they can to get Bonds in jail. Although their means are not ethically correct (sending a man to prison for contempt for over a year!) I believe they are doing the right thing. Anderson deserves what he is going through because it is clear that he sold steroids to Bonds; if Anderson had not done such a thing he would have complied with the government months ago.
Hopefully Anderson will give in and Bonds will get what he deserves (two years in prison). Thats what happens when you do steroids.
We Cant Assume Anderson is Guilty of Anything

We live in the United States of America- everyone here is innocent until proven guilty. You cant prove that Anderson is guilty of anything... If he doesnt want to comply with the government by telling information on Bonds, he doesnt have to. The government had no right to throw him in jail for a year for not talking- we have a fifth amendment!
5th Amendment
Clarence Darrow 15 weeks 3 days 20 hours 24 min ago
I don't care about Bonds in the least so I haven't been following this story, but I'm almost positive this guy wasn't thrown in the jail for invoking his 5th Amendment rights. That would be a violation of his constitutional rights and any lawyer would have had him out of jail and suing the government within 2 days. There had to be more to it than just him not wanting to incriminate himself.
