Big shocker, has anyone seen him go from 175 to 218lbs? Very little natural "supplements" will do this but A/S. Giambi, he looks very skinny now that he is off the sauce. His explanation, he has dieted down?

The San Francisco Chronicle website is reporting that investigators were told the San Francisco Giants slugger received steroids and the human growth hormone from the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative (BALCO), the lab recently implicated in a steroid-distribution ring.
According to the newspaper, investigators were also told that New York Yankees stars Jason Giambi and Gary Sheffield, as well as three other major leaguers and one NFL player, were given steroids by BALCO.
Bonds' personal trainer, Greg Anderson, was allegedly the source that gave the players the drugs from BALCO.

Bonds, Giambi and Sheffield, all of whom testified last fall before the grand jury that indicted four men in the alleged steroid-distribution ring, have denied steroid use.
The three men declined comment Monday when contacted by Chronicle.
"We continue to adamantly deny that Barry was provided, furnished or supplied any of those substances at any time by Greg Anderson," Bonds' lawyer Michael Rains told the newspaper.
These claims could prove especially devastating to Bonds, who has put together one of the best four-year spans in baseball history over the last four seasons, including a record-shattering 2001 campaign.
During that season, Bonds hit an unprecedented 73 home runs. He has hit over 40 homers each of the last four seasons, while also posting an on-base percentage of over .500 for each of the past three years.
Prosecutors released documents last month saying Anderson told federal agents he gave steroids to several professional baseball players; however, none of those players were identified in those documents.
On Feb. 12, U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft announced a 42-count indictment against Anderson, BALCO founder Victor Conte, legendary track coach Remi Korchemny and BALCO vice-president James Valente.
The men are charged with conspiring to distribute performance-enhancing drugs, including human growth hormone and the newly-discovered steroid, tetrahydrogestrinone (THG).
All four men have pleaded not guilty.
