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.

I just saw the very same on fox sports.. hahahaha
He's guilty. AND his case is more important than Clemens, as he's the homerun king.
There goes the defense that his beloved fans always held. hahahahaha

What's funny is how this became a race issue, with fans divided along racial lines. I'm sorry. Gaining 40 lbs in one summer is something that only an idiot can ignore. Hopefully the record goes back to Big Mac.
Because Big Mac went before Congress and vehemently denied his steroid use like an innocent man (or crazy man, in Clemens' case) would? ::)
They're all juicing. Roger Maris was clean.

Plus his shoe size went from 8 to like 13.. Late growth spurt, you reckon? ;)
The record belongs to ROGER MARIS. KTHXBYE.

MLB wasn't going to stop it.
How many hundreds of millions of dollar did they make in add'l revenue with Bonds breaking that record?
The guy who processed that test should have covered the results with hot sauce and eaten them.
-
I think we have seen the last of Bonds in the MLB and it is likely he will face some form of charges based on this evidence. He is definitely the most obvious liar with the strongest ties to a steroid distribution ring
People who lie under oath are idiots.
Also comical is Congress' rush to spend their valuable time investigating whether Clemens got 3 hgh shots 7 years ago....
...while they still haven't done an independent investigation into 911, WMD, or the 2.3 trillion dollars that the Pentagon lost on the day before 9/11/01.

Hey, you won't get an argument from me on that. These idiots need to tell the Hootens to go pound sand. Their kid was insecure and had emotional problems. He became depressed long before juicing, the muscle made him feel better, and then when he lost the muscle he killed himself. These idiots need to stop wasting tax dollars on this crap. Should we investigate the drugs that movie stars use, like Heath Ledger? Should we call Lohan, Spears and all these other idiots to the stand and start questioning about illegal possession of prescription drugs?
Gordiano: Basically, black people said the "witch hunt" was racist and he didn't juice although he gained 40 lbs of muscle in a summer. Bet they feel real dumb now. Wait, they'll probably justify it they way they did with Vick.

Bob Costas called Bonds' body changes "cartoonish" this morning.
-
False alarm. They misprinted the report and it only deals with a failed 2000 drug test.
-
anybody that doesn't believe bonds used steroids is very dumb, but thats just me going out on a limb

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The idiots in the justice department filed the wrong year.The test he failed was already the one known about and was administered by BALCO!!!As usual,the dirty,filthy,rotten feds screwed up the case,as they always do.This case has a good chance of being thrown out because of Nivitski the gangster[the judge has repremanded him about 6 different times].If it does go to trial Nivitski will be destroyed and Bonds will walk!!

You're just begging the question..... ::)

You can say that again.

Or how about the fact that senator Larry Craig goes into a public restroom at an airport and tries to get a head job from a fag,gets caught,arrested and pleads guilty and the senate does nothing.Oh,I'm sorry,they sent him a letter and said he acted inappropriately.Can you imagine?This is a guy who tries to pass decency laws for the rest of US to follow,and these fools are worried about Roger Clemens.

I could take all the gear in the world and I still couldn't throw a baseball withing 3 feet of the plate.....leave the guy alone I say.
-
if you guys think for one second baseball is the only sport that takes steroids think about this.... in the 70s and 80s steroid testing was non existant in the nfl yet today they are beating all the records set by these juiced up individuals in the 70s and 80s... must be that creatine stuff they came out with in the 90s and better training...
-

Yes, you read that right.
2.3 trillion goes missing. You know it's going to be the story of the year. Investigations, people going to jail. Then what happens?
9/11 happens twelve hours later. It's almost as if the pentagon knew the best time to release the news story...

all this rhetoric and more is all thanks to this man

Excellent point.

So what. Steroids don't help him hit a slider or pull a 2 seam fastball that is coming in on your hands. He was a Hall of Famer before he ever took anything

yes and all around player ,but he would have never hit 73 dingers,never....but that was the most important stat ever to break.nobodies cares about 250 hits,170 walks,150 rbi's,homeruns are the king..
-
You can take the entire factory producing all the roids you want, but that will still never allow your eye to help you make contact on the ball coming at you. That's all Barry, no matter what anybody wants to say. His natural gift.
-
what a bunch of bullshit, Bonds was a skinny little 170 pounder who is all blown up on drugs.
(http://partmule.com/images/BarryBonds-skinny.jpg)
All of his stats/records should be erased from the books.

LMAO! Yeah...McGwire was CLEAN ::)

they should give the nobel peace prize to the genius who planted andro in his locker during those interviews.

It was a pretty good cover-up scheme at the time.
Place a legal supplement in plain view for reporters to see. You know at least one of them is gonna notice it and report on it. Takes the attention away from the massive amounts of gear he was on for several years as the public is too stupid to realize it's a cover-up.
But McGwire isn't here "to talk about the past..."

This is news?
I am amazed that mdeia and avg fan didn't know how obvious this was....ho hum

You're right cap 86...all the hoopla was because of a misprint by the feds in court documents. Regardless, it just gives way to the gov't being able to come down on athletes who use...even if the use was before steriods became illegal. Just another excuse on why the gov't is pissed on not being able to collect taxes on products...that's basically the bottom line. You would think they'd find another more alarming problem to deal with than steriod abuse amongst athletes.

They're all juicing. Roger Maris was clean.
Are you sure? I thought he refused to talk about the past when they would ask him....not certain but I thought he just refused to answer.
