    Bonds' trainer will stay silent



    Personal trainer Greg Anderson, who went to federal prison rather than testify against Barry Bonds, was released last week when baseball's home run leader was indicted. But he could face more time behind bars, because Anderson's lawyers say he still will not cooperate with federal authorities.

    Anderson, 41, could be called upon to testify if Bonds goes to trial on perjury and obstruction of justice charges related to alleged steroids use. This time, Anderson could be charged with criminal contempt if he refuses to cooperate. Attorneys Paula Canny and Mark Geragos told The Daily News in New York their client will not relent. "He's never going to testify," Geragos said.

    Unlike the civil contempt charges, which kept Anderson in jail while the grand jury investigating Bonds was active, criminal contempt charges could mean a longer sentence. He would first have to be indicted and then found guilty in a trial. Canny says she admires Anderson for his consistency and resilience.

    "I know that some people think that Greg is displaced," Canny said. "I don't think it's my position to judge, but whatever his position is, whatever it is that can make him be able to be most comfortable with who he is, we have to support."

    TALK ABOUT LOYALTY

    Do you think bonds is paying him to keep his mouth shut? I find it hard to believe. What good is money if you cant use it? I have a lot of good friends, but i dont know if they'll ever go to jail for me

    I thought this thread was going to be a continuation of the threads we're seeing today, and that you're real name is Greg Anderson...well, and that you're really impressed with your own friend skills.

    I am sad.

    I guess he does not have the right to remain silent.
