Boyle began a conversation with Anderson, who told Boyle he was on his way to help Gary Sheffield overcome a hitting slump. Sheffield, who played for the Atlanta Braves at the time, was in Minneapolis for a game against the Minnesota Twins.

 

Boyle wrote that Anderson told him he was making the trip at the request of his "best client," a reference to Bonds, Boyle later discovered.

 

Boyle wrote: "I asked him what he did for the players. Anderson explained that he 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."

 

Boyle also wrote that Anderson said, "that when your friend and best client asks you to help his friend, you do it."

 

Stories are bound to surface, but having them come from a federal magistrate makes it a little more believeable, I think.
