A urine sample provided by all-time home run leader Barry Bonds as part of an anonymous testing that baseball conducted in 2003 has tested positive for performance-enhancing substances, the New York Times reported Tuesday.
Bonds' sample did not test positive under Major League Baseball's program but was retested by investigators at the UCLA Olympic laboratory by a prominent doping researcher after it was seized in a 2004 raid, unidentified sources told the newspaper.
The samples are believed to contain traces of the previously undetectable designer steroid known as THG, or "The Clear."

I found a rookie card of Bonds online and he weighed 185 pounds when he started. kinda makes you think.
Indian Jim Thorpe was stripped of his gold metals from the Olympics for excepting a very small endorsement. Probably enough money to feed his family for one month. If my memory serves me well it was the German Olympics just before WW1
All of Bond's, Sosa, McGuire and Griffey's numbers should be removed from the record books. Hank Aaron is still the home run King in my book!
Is anyone really surprised by this?
I certainly am not.
barry is being set-up.... is this the way we should treat the greatest ballplayer of our lifetime... just how would we have treated the Babe, if he were playing today???
4:08 P.M. By sending him to alcohol rehab???
And this was surprise to ANYONE?
Good Anonymous 9:19AM, exactly right, they stripped Jim Thorpe, and he was likely the greatest athlete this country has ever produced.
(and the one who overcame the most adversity, of his times, Johnny Weissmuller, winning 5 golds and 1 bronze Olympic medals...he contracted polio at age 9) --now he was an amazing man.
