SAN FRANCISCO -- Tim Montgomery testified last year that he used human growth hormone and an undetectable steroid, and that the man at the center of a Bay Area steroid ring told him he supplied Barry Bonds with performance-enhancing drugs, the San Francisco Chronicle has reported.
The newspaper's report Thursday includes direct quotes from Montgomery's testimony to the federal grand jury that investigated the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative. The Chronicle did not say how it obtained the information; it is illegal to give grand jury testimony to the media.
His lawyer lashed out at the leak of his secret testimony. Montgomery was among dozens of elite athletes -- including Bonds, Jason Giambi and Montgomery's girlfriend, Olympian Marion Jones -- who answered the grand jury's questions under threat of perjury.
Did he say he gave any steroids, Winstrol or any of the other ones to Mr. Bonds?" Nedrow asked.
"Yes, he did," Montgomery replied.
"Did he say specifically which ones?"
"Winstrol," Montgomery said.
Winstrol is the same steroid Ben Johnson used before being disqualified in the 1988 Olympics. Montgomery testified that Conte told him Bonds switched to an undetectable steroid in 2003 when baseball introduced its drug policy.
