EXCERPT: Gary Sheffield's section in the Mitchell Report

December 13, 2007

MITCHELL REPORT: Pages 135-137


On March 16, 2006, a federal magistrate judge from Idaho, Judge Larry M. Boyle, wrote a letter to Commissioner Selig in which he enclosed a copy of an earlier letter he had sent on February 26, 2004 to the United States Attorney for Idaho. In that earlier letter, Judge Boyle reported that on June 11, 2002, after a flight from Boise to Minneapolis, he boarded a shuttle bus and was seated across the aisle from a man who later identified himself as Greg Anderson.

Boyle had a conversation with Anderson during the ride in which Anderson said he was in Minneapolis because his “best client wanted him to help his close friend Gary Sheffield who was in a slump and struggling at the time.”

According to the letter, Anderson told Boyle that Sheffield’s team was playing the Twins that week and Anderson had “come to work with him.”

When Boyle asked what in particular Anderson did for his baseball player clients, Anderson responded: [H]e will usually reserve the hotel exercise facility and work privately with Sheffield on body mechanics, weights and also take a blood or urine sample, test it to determine if his body chemistry is what it should be, and then give him nutritional supplements.

Anderson confirmed to Boyle that his “best client” was Barry Bonds. Boyle concluded the letter by stating he “felt his conversation was sufficiently important to report it to you in light of the legal proceedings pending in another federal district.” 353 Through his lawyer, Boyle confirmed to us the events described in his letter.

In September 2003, when federal agents executed a search warrant on Greg Anderson’s condominium, they cited a February 2003 FedEx receipt from Gary Sheffield to BALCO as evidence of probable cause to conduct the search.354 In his 2007 book entitled Inside Power, Sheffield acknowledged he had received a bill from BALCO for what he called “vitamins” and claimed he did not know whether the “cream” he acknowledged using during his grand jury testimony had contained steroids.

In his book, Sheffield recounted his grand jury testimony as follows: “‘I applied this cream to my knees.’ I told them ‘I didn’t know it was steroids. Whatever it was, it didn’t make me stronger.’” Sheffield then claimed in his book: “I had no interest in steroids. I didn’t need them, and I didn’t want them.” His book asserted that he “never touched a strength-building steroid in [his] life – and never will.”

In his book, Sheffield attributed the increase in home runs in Major League Baseball after the 1994 strike to widespread steroid use, and he claimed that at the time he asked the Commissioner to investigate the issue, only to be ignored. Selig denied that he ever received such a request from Sheffield.

Three Stooges Rule!

Yeah!

Laurel and Hardy Rule too! they need to show the Stooges and Laurel and Hardy on TV more often.

They used to be on Channel 50 Comedy Classics every night when i was a kid

I used to watch them on 50 all the time...

They should bring it back!

He said/he said.....

I used to watch "The Ghoul" on Channel 50 late-night Saturdays.....before Saturday Night Live started!!

Sheffield didn't get as much "scrutiny" as I expected!!

Abbott and Costello's Who's on First--classic!

It is! Abbott and Costello are hilarious!

They have clips of the Ghoul on You Tube! Laurel and Hardy and Stooges too

Those were the days!

When funny didn't have to have sexual innuendo...

You mean something can be funny and not have a sexual connotation? You MUST be kidding!!!!!!

Amazin', ain't it?

I'm floored!!! From some of the discussions on here, I figured anything NOT sexual was not humorous!

I mean, with Laurel and Hardy & the Stooges, there were women, but there just wasn't all that sexual overtone there is today.
