Yes he has! But he claims he does not know how it came to be in his body. He says he has never intentionally taken them. Because of this, I say that HAMMERIN' Hank Aaron will always be the real record holder!
Answeras of last night he has not tested positive AnswerBonds has never failed a steroid test administered by MLB. When testifying before the grand jury in the BALCO case, he admitted to using steroids (Cream and Clear) that he said he thought were flaxseed oil and an Arthritis balm. How much credence those statements hold is questionable. However, last year he did fail an amphetamine test and was subject to six additional tests by MLB over the next six months. As far as we know, he turned up clean in all six.Bonds has been tested 22 times for steroids and was clean in all 22 times. The flaxseed oil that he supposedly took was when there were no rules or regulations on performance enhancing drugs. Once MLB put their steroid policy and testing in place he never tested positive. Ryan Braun on the other hand did just last year and no one is saying anything about him!
