Kent on Bonds: ‘Not Surprised’
Jeff Kent isn’t shocked that San Francisco slugger Barry Bonds, a former teammate, is the focus of baseball’s steroid scandal.
“I won’t get into specifics, but in general, I’m not surprised,” Kent said in Anaheim when asked what he thought about Bonds’ reported acknowledgment, during grand jury testimony last year, that he used a substance he didn’t know contained steroids.
“It’s embarrassing that we’ve come to this point, where we have grand jury testimony coming out as evidence against some players.”
Kent says the steroid scandal is dragging baseball down.
“The integrity of the game has been hurt by this, and it’s embarrassing to me as a player,” Kent said.
