U.S. says Bonds failed steroids test after homer mark
SAN FRANCISCO -- Barry Bonds tested positive for steroids in November 2001, just a month after hitting his record 73rd home run of the season, U.S. prosecutors said on Thursday.
The allegation came in a legal filing in his steroid perjury case that referred to Bonds' long-time trainer, Greg Anderson.
"At trial, the government's evidence will show that Bonds received steroids from Anderson in the period before the November 2001 positive drug test, and that evidence raises the inference that Anderson gave Bonds the steroids that caused him to test positive in November 2001," U.S. Attorney Joseph Russoniello wrote.
The U.S. government made the assertion in a document that asked a federal court to reject Bonds' motion last month to dismiss the charges that he lied about past steroid use.
In December, the record seven-time National League Most Valuable Player pleaded not guilty to lying to a federal grand jury in 2003 when he denied using performance-enhancing drugs.
He testified in the BALCO sports steroid case, which ended up jailing his personal trainer, Anderson, and the head of the BALCO lab near San Francisco.
The latest government motion also referred to a question by a prosecutor during the BALCO case to "determine why Bonds apparently tested positive for anabolic steroids in November 2000."
To date, prosecutors have revealed little about the details they have in the case against Bonds, the greatest hitter of his era long dogged by suspicions about doping.

Feds' typo spurs erroneous report on Bonds test

SAN FRANCISCO -- Federal prosecutors mistakenly filed court papers Thursday that incorrectly stated that Barry Bonds failed a steroids test in November of 2001 -- one month after breaking the single-season home run mark.
U.S. attorney spokesman Josh Eaton now says that the reference in Thursday's government court filing regarding Bonds testing positive was actually referring to a November 2000 test that was previously disclosed in the indictment of Bonds and had already been reported.
In December, Bonds pleaded not guilty to lying to a federal grand jury in 2003 when he denied using performance-enhancing drugs.
The mistake prompted a flurry of reports on television and Web sites -- including ESPN.com -- around the country.
The filing amounted to federal prosecutors defending their questioning of Bonds before a grand jury, and urging a judge to keep the slugger's perjury prosecution on track.
Bonds had argued that the questions posed to him by prosecutors were ambiguous and confusing. He demanded that the five-count indictment charging him with lying to a grand jury be tossed out. Bonds has pleaded not guilty.
In the filing, prosecutors said Bonds was specifically told before he began testifying in 2003 that he could consult with his lawyers or ask for a question rephrased if he ever got confused.
"Bonds never said he was confused or asked the prosecutor to rephrase a question," the government's filing stated.
Instead, they said their questions left no doubt that they were asking Bonds about his drug use and his relationship with personal trainer Greg Anderson.
Prosecutors said "as the evidence at trial will show, each count charges that Bonds repeatedly lied in answering the same question or questions on the same subject matter."
The matter will be the subject of a court hearing Feb. 29.

All This shit Makes One wonder How far back The "Roids" Really Go?
And What Sport's?
What Star Athletes?
I mean, It look's Like The 90's & 00's Baseball is getting raped in the Ass and are the Fall guy's for this shit.
A grip of records have been set, Olympic, Body Building Football ect.. All Under The influence of either Steroids & HGH.
Football Great Lyle Alzado admitted to Taking Anabolic Steroids begining in 1969!!!
(Let's put that Into Perspective.. Alot of Shit And Records have happened since then)
Alot Of HOF's in All Sport's have peep's Who went Undercover with the steroid umbrella I'm 100% positive about that.
It's Shit That only certain dudes will Suffer for this, when It was a A movement/Lifestyle not only a selected few.

^^^ true, but not everyone holds the single season/all time record for HR, or the most cy youngs...
the way these fucks are being treated should send a message to all the youngins coming up in sports, and hopefully this is the dawn of a new era...the pure era, if you will.
-
what about that white nigga clemens??? why they dancing circles around his situation
more importantly, why the fuck is the government getting involved with this bullshit?
Exactly what the fuck I was thinking. Kick them niggas out the league and let the government focus on issues that actually needs their attention.
