SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Baseball star Barry Bonds took an undetectable performance-enhancing drug during the 2003 season, his weight trainer said on a secretly recorded tape, The San Francisco Chronicle reported on Saturday.
Greg Anderson, a longtime friend of the San Francisco Giants player, also said he expected to be tipped off before Bonds would have to take a drug test aimed at catching athletes who use steroids, the Chronicle reported.
Anderson is a central figure in a professional sports steroids case that has focused on the San Francisco-area BALCO nutritional laboratory. The accused have pleaded not guilty.
"The whole thing is, everything that I've been doing at this point, it's all undetectable," Anderson said on the tape, the newspaper reported.
"It's going to be in either the end of May or beginning of June," the paper quoted Anderson as saying in reference to Bonds' drug test. "So after the All-Star break ... we're like (expletive) clear."
