Re: Barry Bonds indicted
[ QUOTE ]
Some of the outright dishonesty in the media is shocking to me.
Let's talk Mark Fainara-Bada-Bing-Bang.....who today on ESPN wrote this excerpt, surmising that the allegation of a failed steroid test in Nov 2000 is "previously undisclosed new information":
[ QUOTE ]
'...The item that jumped from the 10-page indictment was the revelation of "positive tests for the presence of steroids ...'
'.. informed him about a drug test he had taken in November 2000 that showed he tested positive for testosterone.....
...the previously undisclosed evidence was the first glimpse of the material the government has been secretly compiling against Bonds for almost four years...
[/ QUOTE ]
Yet, almost two years ago, in the book HE WROTE....is this excerpt:
[ QUOTE ]
Bonds underwent one such screening on Nov. 18, 2000, according to BALCO documents. Quest Diagnostics ran an anabolic steroid panel on Bonds.
After the 2001 season, on Nov. 12, LabOne, another drug-testing lab, did another workup on Bonds's testosterone levels. LabOne reported a level of 11.2, which was considered abnormally high for a man of Bonds's age.
[/ QUOTE ]
Is Bada-Bing-Bang really that forgetful about what he wrote in his own book....or is he being purposefully misleading in order to create the false impression that this indictment introduces "new" allegations?

In your first quoted section, the allegation is that Bonds tested positive in Nov 2000. In your second quoted section, he posted "abnormally high" in Nov 2001. Is this not new information?
