Barry Bonds' former mistress testified Monday that the slugger blamed a 1999 elbow injury on steroid use.

Called by federal prosecutors to the witness stand in Bonds' perjury trial, Kimberly Bell said that she asked Bonds about the problem with his left elbow, which she described as "a big lump ... it looked awful."

She testified that Bonds responded by saying his steroid use caused the injury, because the muscle and tendons grew too fast for the joint to handle.

"It blew out," she said.

I didn't cut the paragraph where she talks about his "shriveled balls."
