Bell says "one time" she had a discussion with Bonds about steroids.
He had an injury on his elbow. "He said it was because of steroids."
"It caused the muscle and the tendons to grow faster than the joint itself could handle. It sort of blew out."
Other players "were getting ahead. That’s how they were achieving...Mark McGwirewas breaking records."
"He said it helped him recover quicker. It helped other people recover quicker."
"Changes sexually, and in performance."
"The shape, size of his testicles were smaller… He had some trouble keeping an erection. He tried some things to resolve that."
"His chest hair was changing and turning gray so he wanted that gone."
Bonds said to her he would "cut my head off and leave me in a ditch." ; He would cut out my breast implants because he paid for them."
Kimberly Bell, very tearful.

The stop-snitching movement is untenable as social policy. Thus, we now hear that Anderson’s plight may still get worse. If Bonds is acquitted, or even if not, the prosecutors in northern California may file criminal charges against Anderson for obstructing justice.

People shouldn’t lie, and they shouldn’t lie to a grand jury, but the whole steroids investigation by the government has been flawed from the very beginning. It’s a wild goose chase of sorts with often little evidence, and the evidence they do have is often lacking because of Major League Baseball’s
efforts early on to—I won’t say cover it up—deal discreetly with the situation.

Assistant U.S. Atty. Matthew Parrella said:
"The defendant was given immunity. All he had to do was tell the truth. That’s all he had to do, was tell the truth, but he couldn’t do it. And the evidence will show that he planned not to do it.”
“Quite frankly, an utterly ridiculous and unbelievable story.”

Hey honey bunny, what’s going on? ... I haven’t called you in a couple of days because I’ve been stuck with one car and I’ve been getting dropped off at the ballpark, and once I get to work, I don’t think about calling nobody.
Yo – pick up the phone. That means you’re not home. That means you’re up to something you ain’t supposed to. I’m supposed to know where you go, later.
I’ll call you a little later after I do this commercial shoot, but they said you were gone, so you better explain to me where the f—- you are!
I’ll find you. Now my blood temperature is rising.

Yo! Do not leave that house ‘til you hear from me! Okay? Bye.

Judge Illston: Former players to testify at Bonds trial (again)
Once again, to make it perfectly clear to Barry Bonds' attorneys, Barry Bonds
and anyone else paying attention; U.S. District Judge Susan Illston ruled that U.S. prosecutors could call on ballplayers to testify that they had received performance-enhancing drugs from Anderson. Barry Bonds'
attorneys said that allowing other athletes to testify that Bonds' personal trainer Greg Anderson had provided them with steroids would lead a jury to believe that Anderson had supplied Bonds with the same drugs.
