Bond's Trainer Greg Anderson, Refuses to Testify

Either Greg Anderson likes jail, or likes it more than the consequences of telling on Barry Bonds.  I suppose once you reach icon status in any endeavor, you are immune to much of the outrageous fortune of everyday Joe's like me.  It's not fair, but then again, who said life was fair?

It was reported today that Greg Anderson, a personal trainer of Barry Bonds is refusing to testify to a federal grand jury investigating perjury charges against Bonds.  Anderson's attorney, Mark Geragos claims Anderson should not have to testify because he claims the federal government conducted an illegal wiretap revealing Anderson's recorded voice stating he gave Bonds drugs that cannot be traced or tested for.  Judge William Alsup, who will hold the hearing next week to decide if Anderson should be found in contempt of court, said the alleged wiretap was "not a wiretap, but a privately recorded conversation with a witness."

Either way it goes, the real question is, "What is Greg Anderson hiding?"  That should be obvious.  If he would rather go back to jail than testify, it is obvious he has something to hide concerning Barry Bonds.  That in itself makes Barry guilty in the court of public opinion.  If there is nothing to hide, Anderson testifies, doesn't do more jail time than he already has, Barry is okay, continues to hit more home runs and all is well, right?

This is perhaps the most damning evidence against Barry of all - the refusal of his personal trainer to testify.  What if Barry is called to testify?  If he is, he will have to do so or face contempt of court charges as well.
