Ex-Yankee Velarde testifies at Bonds' trial
SAN FRANCISCO, California - Ex-New York Yankee Randy Velarde testified on Wednesday he received human growth hormone (HGH) from the personal trainer of Barry Bonds, who is accused of lying under oath about his use of performance-enhancing drugs.
Velarde was the fourth Major League Baseball player to tell jurors in Bonds' perjury trial that he got banned drugs from Bonds' trainer Greg Anderson.
Bonds, who holds the Major League records for single-season and career home runs, told a grand jury in 2003 that he took substances from Anderson he believed were flaxseed oil and arthritis balm but did not knowingly use steroids.
