Sports News – MLB news: Giambi brothers testify that Bonds\u2019 trainer gave them steroids; Dodgers extend Chad Billingsley; New seven-day DL for concussions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Giambi brothers testify that Bonds\u2019 trainer gave them steroids<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Giambi brothers, Jason and Jeremy, are the first athletes to testify at the Barry Bonds trial. On Tuesday, they both testified that Bonds\u2019 personal trainer, Greg Anderson, supplied them with steroids during their careers.<\/p>\n

Jason Giambi said that Anderson sent him packages with \u201cthe clear\u201d and \u201cthe cream,\u201d both of which \u201chad steroid-like effects without being a steroid.\u201d The packages also included syringes and a calendar indicating when to take the steroids.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Dodgers inked big right-hander Chad Billingsley to a three-year, $32-million contract extension yesterday. The deal will pay him $9 million in 2012, $11 million in 2013 and $12 million in 2014. It also includes a team option in 2015 for $14 million.<\/p>\n

Major League Baseball has implemented a new seven-day disabled list specifically for players with concussions. Additionally, any players, coaches and umpires with suspected concussions will undergo testing with stricter methods to determine how long they should rest before returning to the field.<\/p>\n

NFL news: Warrants issued for Aqib Talib, mother; Chad Ochocinco earns \u201chonorary\u201d role with Sporting KC; Erik Ainge was a \u201creally bad addict\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The plot thickens in the Aqib Talib investigation. A day after he was mentioned as a person of interest in an attack on his sister\u2019s boyfriend, a felony warrant has been issued for his and his mother\u2019s arrest. He allegedly pistol whipped the boyfriend before firing several shots in his direction as he fled the scene.<\/p>\n

Did Chad Ochocinco make Sporting KC of Major League Soccer? Not quite. His fitness wasn\u2019t quite up to snuff and he didn\u2019t impress in a friendly with the team, so his tryout essentially failed. But head coach Peter Vermes has deemed Ochocinco an honorary member of the team. He can\u2019t play in a game or earn money from the team but will be allowed to practice with Sporting KC any time.<\/p>\n

Erik Ainge, a New York Jets backup quarterback currently on the reserved\/non-football list, told ESPN this week that he has a serious history of drug abuse. \u201cDuring my days of using, I was a really bad drug addict,\u201d Ainge said. \u201cI would\u2019ve made Charlie Sheen look like Miss Daisy.\u201d \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ainge said he starting using at age 12, progressing from marijuana to prescription drugs. He was a pain killer addict as a senior at Tennessee and reportedly took as many as 25 Percocets at a time during his rookie season with the Jets. Ainge, who missed all of 2010 to attend rehab, claims he has been clean since July of 2010.<\/p>\n

NCAA basketball news: Ashton Gibbs, Jordan Williams declare for NBA draft<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perhaps trying to forget the sting of losing with No. 1 seed Pittsburgh in the NCAA Tournament, junior guard Ashton Gibbs has declared for the 2011 NBA draft. He averaged 16.8 points and shot 49 per cent from three-point range this season.<\/p>\n

Also declaring: Maryland center Jordan Williams. The 6\u201910\u201d sophomore averaged 16.9 points and 11.8 rebounds this year.<\/p>\n

NBA news: Did LeBron \u201chide\u201d from Cavs fans during player introductions?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Cleveland Cavaliers got their revenge in LeBron James\u2019 second return visit to Quicken Loans Arena last night, topping the Heat 102-90. Maybe the loss was a result of bad karma headed LeBron\u2019s way? He was conveniently absent during player introductions for what the Heat called \u201ca bathroom break.\u201d<\/p>\n
