DUBLIN, Calif. - Barry Bonds' personal trainer returned to prison Monday afternoon for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury investigating Bonds' steroid use.
Greg Anderson has twice been freed on technicalities. He was ordered to report after an appeals court last week upheld the entirety of his contempt-of-court citation - meaning Anderson could serve a year or more unless he testifies against Bonds, his boyhood friend.
In 2003, Bonds testified before a federal grand jury probing steroid use that Anderson had provided him flaxseed oil and arthritis balm, not steroids. Authorities suspect Bonds is lying, and have subpoenaed Anderson to testify.
Anderson also has served three months stemming from that steroids investigation, pleading guilty to distribution and money laundering charges.
The Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative scandal has netted five convictions, including Anderson's, and one pending indictment.
