Bonds has not yet tested positive for steroids. However, he did just recently test positive for amphetamines (I can't remember the spelling...) which is a drug that was widely used by players for an extra boost of energy until they were banned before last year. I believe testing positive for this drug is only a warning for the first offense and a 25 game suspension for the second offense as opposed to a 50 game suspension for a steroid offense.

No. Barry never tested positive for steroids. just amphetamines. until a couple of years ago team trainers put amphetamines in the coffee in the clubhouse. I'm sure many other people tested positive last year, but nobody leaked it because Barry is who they are after. The MLB should be ashamed, and owes barry a public apology for allowing this to be leaked. this means nothing.

Yes he was only caught using ampthetamines in this test. His godfather Willie Mays also used them, which of course does not justify it because they are illegal.
He admitted using the cream and the clear which are steroids in front of the grand jury, but it didn't come out tests from last year. He probably has a positive test in the 2002 confidential baseball players steroids tests that the federal agents just supoenaed. We will know if this is the case because if he did test positive in 2002, the feds will charge him with perjury for lying about steroids to the grand jury.

He has never tested positive for steroids. There are masking agents that anabolic steroid abusers use to help to avoid detection, and there are anabolics and other doping methods for where there are as yet no tests.
Bonds tested positive for amphetamines, but just one so far. Effective the beginning of the 2006 season, a first positive test for amphetamines was worth a warning, a second a 25 game suspension, and a third a full season suspension.

He tested positive for amphetamines, or "greenies" as they've been called for over 40 years. Most baseball players have taken them, and even Mike Schmidt admitted to taking them in his career, so you can't really say that it gives a player an advantage like steroids do. However, amphetamines are not allowed anymore, and Barry has been the only one that we've heard of who has been caught. It pretty much proves now that he is a cheater, a liar (blaming a quiet guy like Mark Sweeney is disgusting), and that he is the worst human being in the game. It looks like Barry will do or say anything to cover his steroid-inflated rear end.

He does not would desire to be .All that needs to be achieved is to have a clever answer to describe the spike in abode run production by particular persons between 1996 and the present season that doesn't incorporate utilising some variety of overall performance improving agent. If that clarification isn't coming near then a clever guy or woman could would desire to anticipate that an exterior agent exchange into used and that Barry Bonds and Steroid Sluggers would desire to be banned from MLB for knowingly violating the spirit of maximum of MLB rules. no remember if or not he examined constructive rather is of no remember. Edit Btw : Scott Petersen is sitting on dying row in CA merely approximately soley on the muse of circumstansial information.there exchange into little if any actual actual information to convict him however the jury theory that the circumstansial information left little if any doubt that he did in certainty homicide his spouse and unborn son .

Barry Bonds did not test positive for steroids. He did test positive for amphetamines which only receiver a suspension on a second positive test.

He didn't test positive for steroids, just amphetamines. However, I hope MLB steps in and stops this circus and if they don't I hope opposing pitchers throw at him every time he comes up and do not let him break the record.

MLB has a terrible steroid policy. After the first positive test, not only is nothing done, his name is kept anonymous from the public. The only reason we know that Bonds tested positive is because someone leaked it. Not till the 2nd violation will Bonds be suspended for a few games. What a shameful policy!
