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.

But according to several sources, when first informed by the MLB Players Association of the positive test, Bonds attributed it to a substance he had taken from the locker of teammate Mark Sweeney. Sources did not identify the drug in question but characterized it as a serious stimulant.

Barry just be misunderstood.

Best reaction I heard...from Mike & Mike show on ESPN...how do you swallow something and not know what you are eating?  Especially a professional athlete who is dependant on his body for his living.

Speed comes in a yellow-ish powder or comes in clear glass like shards.  He knew what he was taking and it didn't come from his teammates locker.  He was taking it himself.  Not sure how speed helps you perform anything better, the drug effects seem the exact opposite to me, but ya...

Besides, this is the type of excuse you make for your 2 year old child who swallows something small and almost chokes.  "Oh he didn't know what he was putting in his mouth"

This is the third strike, he should be out.  Isn't that how baseball rules work?  Kick him out, put the * next to his homer run title, and let him fade into cheater obscurity.

I agree with you 100%.  And your interpretation was the point of the comment.  If you put it in your body you better damn well know what it is.  Unless of course you have the mental capabilities of a 2 year old.

Maybe steroids shrinks not only the male's main operating brain but the brain in our skull also.  I think more research is needed to see the effects of steroids on both.

Funny, when I read the subject I thought to myself "What did Brent Barry ever do?".  I know, I'm a moron. 

I have zero respect for Bonds and little for MLB, so this doesn't really elicit any opinions from me.
