was bonds ever found guitly for the usage of steroids??

Question

i'm writing a paper and everything i've read doesn't say..

Answer 1

He has never tested positive for steriods!!!
People hate him because he's going to break baseballs most beloved record, I'm sure if he and Roger Maris were to switch spots they'd call barry a dumb n*--er and Roger a Juicer.

Answer 2

Um, no. And you need to understand the laws.

One can be prosecuted for manufacturing, trafficking/distributing, or possessing steroids or other controlled substances. There's not a law against using them. Fine but important distinction. (This is actual law and not MLB policies or regulations.)

Bonds is not under any known legal investigation for possessing steroids. He was given immunity for testifying to the grand jury in the BALCO case. He is, however, under investigation for possible perjury related to that testimony. The first grand jury investigating these charges expired without handing down an indictment; a second GJ is currently pursuing. I don't know if the case could pass to a third GJ if the second also expires.

Part of his GJ testimony was leaked (which is illegal), and in that testimony he acknowledged using a substance, rub-on delivered, which contained one or more steroids. He also claimed not to know what it was, and that he was told it was flax seed oil or something similarly legal and innocuous. A lot of people, some of whom have torches and pitchforks ready and waiting, don't like this, but he's got plausible deniability; make of that what you will.

Bonds has not, to public knowledge, ever tested positive for steroids. (The original 2003 testing found between 5% and 7% of players were using. Names have never been released from that initial testing data.)

Answer 3

The government spent years and millions of taxes payers dollars, and could not proof that Bonds took anything!!!
If the government can't come up with anything, then most likely he didn't take anything!! It was a witch hunt, started when a lot of racist people know that he was going to past Babe Ruth on the home run list, everyone was talking like Ruth was there great white god, no one said that Hank Aaron had the home run record!!
After Bonds past Ruth all the racist people were mad as hell, but then said Bonds will never past Aaron, now that all the racist crybabies see that Bonds is going to past Aaron, then keep bring up that BS steroids lie!!

Answer 4

Bonds was never convicted but however if you remember 2 yrs ago when Balco was investigated the 1st 2 people that was checked was Giambi and Bonds. Giambi never confessed on using steroids but he revealed that he was using something when he move to the yankess. Bonds did testify about his involvement but never admit of using them. If you look at it this way he was not that big when he was playing for the Pirates a decade ago he hit many homeruns but not like serious numbers like on this decade. The reason why many people would say his on steroids becaus he was consistent 30-50 homeruns in every season when you jump to 73 and 60 thats a big jump. Look at Jason giambi he was hitting 50 homeruns a season while he was on drugs and now look at his numbers. He was never close to what he was, It is a shame that he is gonna break Hank aaron record because that person was just motivated to play better he never use anything nor even babe ruth because that guy was not using drugs we all know he drinks alot. He is just powered what he got on his belly. My point is Bonds may have use something he suppose to be having if you got investigated by the federal govt. and say you havent had anything thats just full bologna the govt aint be digging in your backyard unless they looking for Jimmy hoffa's body. You would go that deep to defend yourself unless your that guilty..

Answer 5

Well your not going to find anything about that because it's not against actual law to take steroids. It's against sports law but they havn't actually completely proved that he's taken them. Comparing a picture of the size of his head isn't proof. I mean I'll admit that there is a good chance he took them but it's still nothing without solid proof.

Answer 6

NO! He has also never come out and admitted to using them. I dont like Bonds, and I really do think that he took steroids or HGH, probably both, but unless we know...its not fair to judge him or the record he is on.

Answer 7

Not steroids - Bonds is into HGH. Get a picture of Bonds with Pittsburgh, and one of him now. Compare the size of his head in the two. Just the head. Then ask anyone to explain how a human head can grow in size during your adult year. Find a medical explanation for the size of a head (not chin) can grow like that.
Bonds is a piece of trash.

Answer 8

No, but he's also never been put on trial. Some reporters in California leaked a grand jury testimony in which Bonds admitted to using two other performancing enhancing drugs, the cream and the clear, although he says he didn't know what they were. I don't believe him, but that's what he says.

Answer 9

well he was never tried in a court for taking steroids so no he hasn't been found guilty. But if you read the book that he has yet to denie Game of Shadows you'll actually see that he's guilty

Answer 10

Guilty is a court determination that you did something. Bonds has never been tried. There is overwhelming evidence that he took some type of improrer performance enhancemtent supplement...
