when did they start testing for steroids,and has bonds ever tested positive?

Question

what are his stats since then and what is his age?

Answer 1

im not sure..i dont think it has been that long

Answer 2

They started testing two or three seasons ago and Bonds has never tested positive for steroids, only amphetamines, which are not a performance enhancer, but are used as a pick-me-up to fight fatigue. To Georgie Porgie, you don't know what you're talking about because steroid testing is done from urine samples, not blood samples, and players do not know in advance when they are going to be tested. The sample is also taken in front of a witness. People need to remember that during the time Bonds, McGwire and Sosa are accused of using steroids, they weren't banned by Major League Baseball. With or without performance-enhancing drugs, Barry Bonds is one of the greatest hitters ever. Deal with it.

Answer 3

NO Bonds has NEVER tested positive for steriods. He's said that "he's rubbed cream, that his trainer gave him; that supposedly contained steriods but he didn't know it." They started testing in the 80's BUT it was a very rare test. They had more problems like Cocaine back in those days. They didn't start really testing to these last 7 or so years. Now they test all the friggin time.


Herb: Not taking up for Bonds but, alot of players get real big as they get older. Look at Michael Jordan, he was a lean thin guy; then at 40 he's ripped and real bulky. You get bulk with age, I think Bonds maybe/probably did something but it isn't "unnatural" to get that big over time. Even if bonds did do something you can't get those numbers just by Roids.

Answer 4

MLB started testing to some degree about 4 years ago, and really started testing 2 years ago even thou it has been banned for many years. It is unsure whether or not he has ever failed a test. He went on the DL most of last year, when they started doing random drug test. He all but admitted he took roids, about 2 years ago, but said "he didn't know that his trainer had done it and not told him" The trainer/drug dealer in question has been locked up 4 times, for not talking about it, even thou he had a plea, and nothing more would happen to him, he has turned in other people, so for some reason he won't turn on bonds. At least 3 players/former players have said bonds said during the Big Mac/ Sammy Sosa chase that he was gonna go on roids. That means he started doing it around '99. he is 42 or 43.

Answer 5

yes barry bonds has used steroids and they have been testing for awhile, just not throughly enough, he gets to keep his stats but to me they u not even worth being looked at he cheated to get them

Answer 6

I thought Bonds was tested positive to amphetamines this year. I could be wrong but wasn't he?

Answer 7

MLB really put their foot down and started testing very recently, with the 3 strike rule and such.
Bonds has "unknowingly" taken steroids. the kind that's rubbed on the skin, i believe.

Answer 8

2003.

No. Not publicly disclosed anyway.

Look 'em up: http://www.baseball-reference.com/b/bondsba01.shtml

Turns 43 at the end of July (b. 24-July-1964).

Answer 9

the reason barry bonds has never been tested positive is because he always gives someone else's blood--not his own.

Answer 10

He tested positive for urine consumption. 42 years old

Answer 11

bonds should have proved postive, if u look at his picture from when he first started out in MLB, he was a skinny mofo who could steal bases eaisly, now all he can do is hit and dress like a chik before practice... same with mark maguire or however you spell that, just that he wasnt a base stealer
