Barry Bonds, who currently holds the record for the most career home runs in Major League Baseball with 762, took home a win in a San Francisco court room last Friday in a case regarding his alleged steroid use during his record-breaking career.
The San Francisco-based 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that urine samples taken from Bonds were not adequate for articles of evidence in his case. Bonds is battling multiple charges surrounding his alleged steroid use.
There is a chance that the ruling in California could be taken to the Supreme Court but no official statement has been given at this time. Bonds was hit with 10 different charges for alleged steroid use while playing for the San Francisco Giants. This is the second court ruling that has landed in Bonds’s favor.
A major road block for the prosecution in the case is the lack of evidence surrounding the urine samples that contain steroids. The court has been unable to prove that the samples taken to the Balco Laboratory belonged to Bonds.
A reading from the lawsuit shows that there is doubt surrounding the validity of the samples. Bonds and his trainer have both faced legal consequences for obstruction of justice.
Barry Bonds is not only known for racking up 762 home runs. He was also named MVP four consecutive times for the Giants. Bonds is a California native who followed in the footsteps of his father Bobby Bonds, who also played for the Giants.
Bobby Bonds followed Willie Mays as the second Major League player to hit 300 career home runs and 300 stolen bases.
