Patrick Arnold may just be trying to get attention, but I don't think his statement in an interview with Bob Costas is much of a shock. Arnold is the man credited with creating "the clear," an undetectable performance-enhancer.
... a chemist who worked with the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, said in an HBO Sports interview that Barry Bonds and Gary Sheffield took performance-enhancing drugs provided to them by the laboratory.
He also went on to say that Victor Conte used to rave about Barry Bonds performance when on "the program."
When asked by Costas if “the program” included steroids, Arnold said: “I have a very strong feeling about it since he was on the program. And like everyone else, the program consisted of the clear.”
Also addressed the stupidity that is Gary Sheffield:
When asked about Sheffield’s recent statement that he never took steroids because “they are something you shoot in your butt,” Arnold said: “That’s an ignorant statement. That’s some sort of weird rationalization. No, he took steroids. This is a bona fide anabolic steroid.”
Of course this isn't anything conclusive, just another individual around these two men that are certain of their steroid use. What's it going to take for everyone to understand these guys spent a better portion of the late 90s and early 00s on steroids?
