Speed Read: Bonds Steroid Case Suddenly Unclear

The Clear. It sounds like the name of a rock band with a vaguely Christian background, but we all know what it really is: the steroid concoction that Barry Bonds and other elite athletes took as part of their training regiments through BALCO labs as a way to cheat the system and produce jaw-dropping, chemically-enhanced performances. Technically, the drug is called tetrahydrogestrinone, otherwise known as THG, but The Clear is clean name for it when used by dirty players.
But YAHOO! SPORTS did some poking around some recently unsealed grand jury testimony from expert witnesses, and found some very interesting ...

by Tom Fornelli Filed under: MLB Hall of Fame, MLB VideoOf course that's just one of the revelations that the two newly-elected members of baseball's Hall of Fame both admitted to last night while doing the Top Ten list on the Late Show with David Letterman.

There's more to this rookie lefty from Taiwan than his name. He's come into the Detroit Tigers bullpen exceedingly well- 11 gm, 10.2 ip, 10 k, 2.53 ERA, 1.13 WHIP. Ni had been pitching for the Chinese Professional Baseball League's Chinatrust Whales, but the team disbanded leaving him without employment.
