On day he homered, Bonds allegedly used banned drugs. “On April 8, 2003, San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds hit his 616^th career home run – a bases-empty shot that provided the only real excitement for local fans in a 9-4 loss to the visiting San Diego Padres. Also that day, according to a calendar that federal prosecutors say was written by his weight trainer, Bonds loaded up on banned drugs: a squirt of the BALCO steroid known as “the Clear” under the tongue; a shot of human growth hormone in the belly; an insulin injection; a dollop of a steroid called “The Cream” that was applied like a balm.” [California Watch]
