Shocking (oh really) news delivered from San Francisco. Barry Bonds failed a steroids urine test in 2000 only one month after hitting the single season record 73rd home run. That may be inculpatory evidence that Bonds used the juice before he testified he didn't 'knowingly' dope in the BALCO trial. Thus Bonds perjured himself under oath. This is old, but a typo turned it into new news for a couple hours.
The Govt would need to prove Bonds knowingly juiced up on steroids supplied by 'trainer' Greg Anderson. From ATP:
"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," US Attorney Joseph Russoniello wrote.
Barry Bonds, the all-time career home run leader, and single-season home run record holder flunked the 'riods test in 2001 one month after blasting #73. (Well, that was a mistake; it was 2000). ABC News:
Federal prosecutors in San Francisco say Barry Bonds tested positive for steroids
just one month after hitting his record 73rd home run of the 2001 season.
Federal prosecutors in San Francisco say Barry Bonds tested positive for steroids just one month after hitting his record 73-rd home run of the 2001 season.This new allegation came to light on Thursday, in a legal filing in his perjury case connected to the BALCO steroids investigation.
Prosecutors contend they have evidence bonds tested positive for steroids in November of 2007, just two months after he set the single-season home run record.(Note: that's type #2)Bonds has maintained he never 'knowingly' took performance-enhancing drugs.
Let's go to the expert, Victor Conte, for a comment:
On Thursday night, Victor Conte told ABC7 News: "It's my opinion, that there are no such
positive steroid test results for Barry Bonds in November of 2001 as alleged by the government."
We recant what we said earlier about Conte. Victor Conte was correct....Bonds did not fail a 2001 test.
Shocking?
Are you serious?
Didn't the leaked Grand Jury testimony tell us that Bonds admitting to using "the clear" and "the cream". You wouldn't even have needed to read "Game of Shadows" to know that.
Again, can the Government prove that Bonds KNOWINGLY took steroids?
Because he claimed to not know that The Clear and The Cream were steroids when he took him.
Look, I know it's BS, but can the Govt. prove it?

My friend:
You touch on the critical question: 'what is knowingly' (which may not be a word).
No one 'knows' what is in the mind of another person. I served on a jury one year ago, which brought notice to the defendants attorney. "So you are a psypsypsychiatrist" he sputtered.
"Yes sure, although I object to your pronunciation" I replied.
"How do you determine truths and lies in your business" he probed.
"I don't", I replied. "I simply record the facts as told to me and as I observe, then present a plan for the approval of the patient and family".
And that is the point. A jury will be asked to look at statements, actions, and motives in this trial. As with McNamee v. Clemens, there is no royal path to the truth. And who knows what lurked in the mind of a fame-starved slugger?

thanks for the response.
just to be clear, when I referred to BS, I was talking about Bonds' BS.
Ofcourse he is lying.
