Steroid Victory

Bob Tufts sends this article from earlier in the week I missed.

Before Barry Bonds goes on trial next March for perjury, the conduct of the prosecutor and principal witness against him will come under public scrutiny in a long-running dispute over seized major league baseball drug testing records.

The players' union won a ruling before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday, setting aside a previous decision that the government can keep steroid tests and records of more than 100 players seized in January 2004. Now, an 11-member appeals panel will hear oral arguments about the conduct and credibility of the prosecutor and investigator carrying out the search.

What makes this issue critical to the Bonds case is that the search was conducted by BALCO lead investigator Jeff Novitzky and was reviewed by none other than Susan Illston, the Bonds trial judge.

Good. Someone is finally reeling in Novitzky.
