  • Bonds Steroid test

    SAN FRANCISCO -- Barry Bonds hopes his random steroid test last week will remove suspicion that he uses performance-enhancing drugs.

    Bonds told MLB.com that he was tested last Friday as part of baseball's new drug-testing agreement. Each player is tested once during the season.

    Under the collective bargaining agreement, a player is sent to counseling for a first positive steroid test and suspended for 15 days or fined up to $10,000 for the second infraction. An infraction is not made public until a second positive test.

    "I'm glad this is finally happening," Bonds told MLB.com. "They'll get the results and it will clear my name. It'll show that there's nothing behind what I've been doing (on the field) all year."
    I'm not buying it. So he gets tested this year and even if he's doping, we won't know about it because only the second infraction is made public.

    That's true but also the fact that he knew he would be gettin tested sometime this year, and could have very easily not used them. But if you look around the league, at Jason Giambi for example. These players have started to slim down or have been out. But no one knows for sure why. The fans know that the MLB knows but can't do anything about it. But as these players slimmed down from a bulking mass to the size of an above-average baseball player, Bonds has stayed the same and his production hasn't really dropped off. In fact, this is one of the best years of any player ever. Not because of HRs, but because of BBs and OBP. He also has more HRs than SOs, which is insane.

      Well, if he dies in less than twenty years, we'll have a pretty good idea that he was taking steriods...but I want answers now, damnit.

      I would doubt that Bonds took steriods for an extended period of time, he is just such a hard worker. If he was on steriods on top of that, he would probably look even bigger than he is now.
