Did Barry Bonds ever admit he knowingly took steroids or any other banned substance under oath?

Question

I was under the impression that Bonds has yet to formally admit he knowingly took steroids? Is that true

Answer 1

No, he never admitted to knowingly using steroids under oath, which is why he's on trial for perjury as we speak.

If he had admitted to knowingly using them, he wouldn't have lied to the grand jury.

Answer 2

Yes, it is true that Barry Bonds has yet to formally admit he knowingly took steroids. Bonds admitted that he used steroids, but not knowingly. He stated that he had used a clear substance and cream that he got from his personal trainer, Greg Anderson, who told him they were nutritional supplements for flaxseed oil and a rubbing balm for arthritis. He then LATER found out it was steroids, and that's when he stopped using em.

Answer 3

No. He says that he never "knowingly" took them. Sounds a little like the "I smoked weed but didn't inhale" defense. These poor athletes. I mean can't the Dept of Homeland Security do something to help these poor folks that can't seem to keep the steroids out of their system?

Answer 4

who cares all i know about this steroid scandal is that its ruined my ballcard collection and devalued about every card i own. the sport made alot of money of these fools during the 80's and 90's and it built them up to be superstars and now its taking them down. the american way build someone up and make them famous and rich and then take them apart!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Answer 5

Bonds will never admit and never have but hes being charged with perjury so he has always denied but I guess the feds have evidence that he did otherwise he would not be charged. I personally think its bogus because why did it take so long to charge him? what evidense do they have now that they didnt 3, 4 years ago? Bonds has never admitted to using and ne never will. He said he never knowling too steriods never said he actually took them

Answer 6

Yes, he did. He claimed that he did so unknowingly though, and that's the basis for the perjury indictment. He says he thought the "cream" and the "clear" from Balco Labs was flaxseed oil and an arthritic balm.
