T.O. might be called to testify for Bonds

The New York Times reports reports why Cowboy receiver Terrell Owens might be called to testify for Barry Bonds when the former baseball slugger goes on trial on charges he lied to a grand jury when he said he never knowingly took performance-enhancing drugs. The trial is scheduled to begin March 2.

In court filings Friday, prosecutors said Steve Hoskins, a childhood friend of Bonds', will testify that Bonds admitted to him that he used steroids.

In 2003, according to the Times, Bonds reported Hoskins to the FBI, accusing him of stealing his money. Hoskins later cooperated with investigators looking into whether Bonds committed perjury.

The filing by the prosecutors indicated that federal agents met separately in 2003 with Owens, then with the San Francisco 49ers, and former NFL star Jerry Rice, then with the Oakland Raiders.

Performance-enhancing drugs, however, was not believed to be the reason for those meetings. Instead, the authorities are believed to have met with Owens and Rice about their relationship with Hoskins, who sold sports memorabilia.

Oh, but I'm sure ESPN will try to make the TO-steroids connection.

You put a picture of his body next to his age and people will eat the story up.

[Frozen700]

yes! :bang2:....so drama

 

[theogt]

I think it's nearly impossible for him to have evaded testing for so many years.

He drinks occasionally. Not that i bought his book or anything. No obsession.

He's tested 24 times a year based on him missing a random test last year.

He's not on roids but Rampage believs the whole league is...

 

[Beast_from_East]

Watch BSPN have their lead story on SportsCenter, "TO linked to steriods".

you're right the NFL is full of clean athletes. :laugh2:

Now you were gonna tell me how anyone at home can beat a roid test yet Merriman wasn't able to, please continue...

 

[5Countem5]

Watch BSPN have their lead story on SportsCenter, "TO linked to steriods".

And then several dozen posters here will rejoice in the media's "great" reporting...

 

[Rampage]

Now you were gonna tell me how anyone at home can beat a roid test yet Merriman wasn't able to, please continue...

he didn't do what he was supposed to do. maybe he cycled too soon to the test. it could be a number of things. for every drug test their's ways to beat them. if you honestly think that the league is so clean that only 1 guy gets caught every 2-3 months you're crazy. for someone who doesn't believe anything from the media you're a pretty gullible person.

I knew Meriman was juicing after watching a couple of San Diego's games his rookie year.

He was like freaking schitzo, jumping around and slapping at his own helmet. You could see the other guys out there were looking at him like, "what the hell".

The dude had some serious "Roid Rage" on Sundays.



If you dont believe me, go back and watch a tape of a game before he got busted for Roids and then watch a tape of a game afterwards and it is like freaking night and day. No more "Lights out" sack dances after he got off the juice.

I believe you ...absolutely.

Rampage is the one believing the NFL turns a blind eye to it...not me.

Didn't the Steelers' team doctor get busted with large quantities of HGH and various other performance enhancing drugs?

Just sayin'...

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

ALL TO, ALL THE TIME.



Is their a better buzz word for marketing?

Nope!



Is there any doubt as to what his next career is?

I doubt T.O. has taken anything illegal as far as PED stuff goes.

But you saying he doesn't drink or smoke has no correlation to PED.

Those aren't used to enhance you performance whatsoever.

ESPN may mention this but they aren't going to try and make it seem like T.O. has ever done steriods.

Stop already.

And just a personal opinion. But after watching A-Roid admit he was a user I will never say that anyone who plays professional sports can be excluded from the conversation.

That includes everyone. Romo, Brady, Adrian Peterson, Kobe, David Beckham, Lebron, Ray Lewis, etc.

It is what it is and it's like that because of the guys who have lied and then been caught in their lies.
