Barry Bonds Failed Drug Test During 2006 Season

And no, it's not steroids we're talking about, but amphetamines.

Barry Bonds failed a test for amphetamines last season and originally blamed it on a teammate, the Daily News reported Thursday.

When first informed of the positive test, Bonds attributed it to a substance he had taken from teammate Mark Sweeney’s locker, the New York City newspaper said, citing several unnamed sources.

“I have no comment on that,” Bonds’ agent Jeff Borris told the Daily News on Wednesday night.

“Mark was made aware of the fact that his name had been brought up,” Sweeney’s agent Barry Axelrod told the Daily News. “But he did not give Barry Bonds anything, and there was nothing he could have given Barry Bonds.”

Bonds, who always has maintained he never has tested positive for illegal drug use, already is under investigation for lying about steroid use.

Of course Bonds would try to deflect responsibility for his drug test results on to someone else. That's all Bonds has done ever since the rumors started about his involvement in BALCO and the use of steroids.

There is no penalty for the first positive test for amphetamines. A second positive test will result in a 25 game suspension. Bonds did not appeal the test results, which means he will be subject to six additional tests over the next six months.
