Barry Bonds had a third operation on his injured right knee, the latest setback in the slugger's rehabilitation, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

Bonds underwent arthroscopic surgery Monday in Southern California as doctors tried to clean out an infection, the Chronicle reported on its Web site Tuesday night. Bonds already had operations on the knee Jan. 31 and March 17 to remove damaged cartilage.

The San Francisco Giants have stopped giving medical updates on Bonds and his agent would not confirm that Bonds had the operation.

I guess for the first time in Barry Bond's life he wasn't lying. He may well miss half the season, maybe even the whole year!

Ting will remain involved in the slugger's care, a day after a newspaper report that Ting has been reprimanded twice by the Medical Board of California.The Giants said in a press release they will provide updates on Bonds' condition "as events warrant." Bonds wants all information on his health to be disseminated via his Web site, www.barrybonds.com, which he hasn't updated since Tuesday.
