Jose Canseco isn't the only one making steroids-related news these days. Barry Bonds' alleged former mistress is now saying the Giants slugger admitted to her that he has used steroids.
Kimberly Bell made the allegations during an appearance on Geraldo Rivera's show on the Fox News Channel.
Rivera asked her, "Did he admit, specifically, to using (steroids) to you?"
"Yes," Bell answered. "Yes, he did tell me. He told me between '99 and 2000 that this was something he was doing."
Like Canseco, Bell has a book to hawk. Bell was on the Rivera program to promote her account of her nine-year relationship with Bonds, tentatively titled "Bonds' Girl."
While Bonds reportedly admitted in grand jury testimony he unknowingly used products — known as "the cream" and "the clear" — that contained steroids, he has publicly denied that he knowingly used any form of steroids.
But Bell not only alleged that Bonds was intentionally using steroids to help "him recover quicker from his injuries," but she claimed to have knowledge of other players under investigation who were using them.
"He said everybody was — this was something everyone was doing," Bell said.
Bell also said that Bonds was concerned that people would notice changes in his appearance ranging from acne to bloating and would attribute them to steroid use. She even claimed to having witnessed bouts of 'roid rage, in which Bonds threatened her with violence.
Bell unsuccessfully sued Bonds for palimony and admitted to going public with her allegations of steroid use because Bonds "offered me peanuts for the whole thing." According to Bell, Bonds offered her $20,000 to "resolve the whole thing and to walk away and sign a confidentiality agreement."
