SAN FRANCISCO -- A former San Francisco Giants outfielder and three others told a federal investigator they obtained performance-enhancing drugs from two men charged in a doping scandal involving a San Francisco Bay area laboratory, a newspaper reported Saturday.
Armando Rios, now in the minor leagues, told the agent he purchased a human growth hormone and testosterone from Greg Anderson, trainer for Giants slugger Barry Bonds
It's well past time for the players and owners to stop treating this problem as a negotiating issue and start treating it as the scandal it is. How many of the records (especially in the home run area) broken in the last decade are going to end up with large asterisks next to them? How many people have to wonder about the odd improvement of Bonds' homerun output as he approaches 40? It's time for Selig and Fehr to get serious about this.
