Baseball: Bonds says he is untroubled by steroids scandal

Baseball superstar Barry Bonds insists the swirling steroids scandal in United States sport doesn't bother him.

"Does it look like it?" the San Francisco slugger asked. "It doesn't faze me at all."

Leading the majors with 10 home runs and a .463 batting average, Bonds brushed aside questions yesterday about the drug-distribution case in which his personal trainer, Greg Anderson, has been indicted.

"There isn't anybody investigating me, as far as I know," Bonds said. "I ain't being investigated."

At one point, Bonds even lifted his T-shirt to reveal his stomach.

"Do I look like I got ripped abs?" he said.

Bonds said he wasn't worried about an asterisk tarnishing his accomplishments - his six MVP awards and 668 career home runs.

"My records aren't going anywhere," he said. "I'll be fine, trust me."

Anderson is one of four men charged in an alleged ring involving the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative.

All four have pleaded innocent and no athlete has been charged.

Bonds repeatedly has denied using illegal steroids.
