Barry Bonds, already under investigation for lying under oath about his steroid use, failed a test under Major League Baseball's amphetamine policy last season and then initially blamed it on a teammate, the Daily News has learned.
Under the policy, which went into effect only last season, players are not publicly identified for a first positive test...Bonds, who has long defended himself against steroid accusations by saying he "never failed a drug test," did not appeal his positive test, but was immediately subject to an additional six drug tests by MLB over the next six months.
Well it appears he has now failed a drug test. I understand failing the first amphetimine test comes with no suspension, but that fact that he Palmeiro'd this accusation, by trying to blame a teammate for his indescretion is just disgusting. And whether Mark Sweeney gave him the upper or not is irrelevant. You get caught, take responsibility. See Weather Bulletin if you want to know my take on this subject.
This man is a cancer to the sport. It will be the ultimate travesty when he passes Henry Aaron this summer to become the all-time HR king. I recommend we boycott the SF Giants this year. I would like to kindly request that when the SF Giants come to your town to play your local team, that you stay home. I would also like to request the Giants fans stay home, not come to the park and keep their dollars in their pockets. Please for the integrity of the game.

How many times can Bonds use the "I didn't know what I was taking" excuse?!? Would you ever just take something without knowing what it is? ESPECIALLY if you were a world class athlete whose body is their livelihood? This dude lies so much he should be running for office!
