“He just got caught.”

Nope. Barry Bonds was never officially suspended by Major League Baseball for a positive steroid test, but he was found guilty of obstruction of justice in a federal case related to the BALCO steroid scandal, though the conviction was later overturned. So they literally have nothing other than the news writer’s opinion on any of it. And they went after Bonds big time and were made fools trying to get him. It’s not his use that kept him out. It’s the writer’s vanity.

We have nothing on Barry Bonds other than: (1) records seized from BALCO indicated that Bonds tested positive on three occasions in 2000 and 2001 for the steroids methenelone and nandrolone; (2) a 2003 urine sample provided by Bonds as part of Major League Baseball's anonymous survey testing, and later seized by federal investigators, was re-tested and found to contain traces of the designer steroid THG ("the clear"), the female fertility drug Clomid, and foreign testosterone; (3) a secretly recorded conversation with Greg Anderson in the Giants' clubhouse in 2003 where they discussed Bonds' steroid injections; (4) in his mid-30s, Bonds' hat size grew by one size and he gained 40 additional pounds of muscle mass; and (5) Barry Bonds transforms from 34-year-old aging and declining baseball player to 35-year-old super Babe Ruth.
