Prosecuters have stated that home run king Barry Bonds tested positive for steroids in November of 2001, a month after hitting his record 73rd home run of the season.

The statement came from U.S. Attorney Joseph Russoniello during Bonds' steroid perjury case and mentioned his trainer, Greg Anderson, provided the illegal drugs:

"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."

Bonds plead not guilty in December to lying to a federal grand jury in 2003 at which time he denied using performance-enhancing drugs.
