The spectre of Bonds

I came across this quote in CricInfo today:
It's like WD40, it's like oiling your joints. You should have tried it yourself, Gus. You could have had a few more years and played in the IPL!

Hmm, it isn't "flaxseed oil" by any chance, is it? Is Michael Vaughan on the verge of cricket's next big scandal? Maybe he ought to read up on Barry Bonds and what happened to him.
Bonds told a U.S. grand jury that he used undetectable steroids known as "the cream" and "the clear," which he received from personal trainer Greg Anderson during the 2003 season. According to Bonds, the trainer told him the substances were the nutritional supplement flaxseed oil and a pain-relieving balm for the player's arthritis.
