Judge bars use of three positive steroid tests in Bonds trial (usatoday.com)

A federal judge ruled late Thursday that prosecutors cannot use three positive steroid tests and other key evidence in Barry Bonds' trial next month. The decision is a setback for the government in its five-year pursuit of Bonds, who has pleaded not guilty to lying to a grand jury on Dec. 4, 2003, when he denied knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs.
