Barry Bonds' Former Mistress Testifies Against Him
|
Barry Bonds is currently on trial for lying in 2003 before a federal grand jury that was investigating the BALCO doping ring. His former mistress, Kimberly Bell, testified Monday that Bonds suffered from shrunken testicles, acne, bloating, hair loss and impotence as a result of anabolic steroid use during their nine year relationship. One of Bonds attorneys, Chris Arguedas, cross examined Bell. His questions seemed to be aimed to portray Bell as opportunistic and vengeful, but this did not change the fact that Bell's testimony could hurt Bonds. According to Bell, Bonds suffered an elbow injury in 1999 and told her that it was a result of steroid use. "He said it helped him recover quicker," said Bell. "The shape, size of his testicles were smaller. He had some trouble keeping an erection. He tried some things to resolve that." Bonds listened and took notes during Bell's testimony. Arguedas brought up a list of radio interviews Bell had given to promote her November 2007 appearance in Playboy magazine.
"Where tears shed by you?" asked Arguedas, "Can you point me to the times that tears were shed as you gave over information to your audience?" Arguedas used evidence Bell was forced to give to the government and which the government was forced to share with Bonds prior to the trial.
Bell also testified that she frequently saw Bonds with his former personal trainer, Greg Anderson, go to rooms while Anderson was carrying a satchel that looked like a shaving kit.
Bonds personal shopper, Kathy Hoskins, is expected to testify later this week.
