U.S. filing typo spurs erroneous Bonds drug report
SAN FRANCISCO -- Federal prosecutors mistakenly filed court papers Thursday that incorrectly stated that
Barry Bonds failed a steroids test in November of 2001 -- one month after breaking the single-season home run mark.
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.
That drug test was included in the indictment unsealed last year, when prosecutors said the test was for a player they called "Barry B."
