SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A key government witness in the Barry Bonds
perjury trial testified yesterday that he saw the home run king's
personal trainer leave Bonds' bedroom at spring training with a
syringe in 2000. Steve Hoskins said that when he saw Bonds and his
personal trainer, Greg Anderson, coming out of the master bedroom
he assumed Anderson had injected the star player with steroids.
WILMINGTON, Mass. (AP) - Zdeno Chara (ZAY'-noh CHAH'-rah) says
he doesn't know if the Canadiens will try to get back at him for
his hit that seriously injured Montreal forward Max Pacioretty
(pahk-OHR'-eht-ee) two weeks ago. The Boston Bruins will face the
Canadiens tonight for the first time since Pacioretty suffered a
concussion and a fractured vertebra when Chara checked him into a
stanchion supporting the glass partition between the teams'
benches.
