Reuters is reporting that Barry Bonds tested positive for Steroids in November of 2001, just a month after hitting home run number 73 in his record setting season. U.S. Attorney Joseph Russoniello said, "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."
I have always said that I won't believe the hearsay until there was some actual evidence and this is by far the most damning evidence brought against Home Run King Barry Bonds.

*Edit/Correction:*
U.S. attorney spokesman Josh Eaton now says that the reference in Thursday's government court filing regarding Bonds testing positive was actually referring to a November 2000 test that was previously disclosed in the indictment of Bonds and had already been reported. I would like to apologize for posting this error and glad to add this edit for clarification.
