Federal prosecutors struck out Friday when the 9th Circuit held that evidence linking baseball great Barry Bonds to steroid use was hearsay and can't be used to convict him of perjury. The 2-1 ruling upheld a 2009 decision refusing to admit testimony by James Valente, former vice president of the Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative. Prosecutors wanted Valente to testify that Bonds' trainer told him blood and urine samples he brought to BALCO for testing were from the home run king. The samples tested positive for steroids.
