Agent Details Steroids Probe Involving Barry Bonds

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ― The lead investigator in the federal government's probe into performance-enhancing drugs in sports is testifying about the genesis of an investigation that ensnared Barry Bonds and Marion Jones.

Called at the trial of cyclist Tammy Thomas, Internal Revenue Service Special Agent Jeff Novitzky stopped short of naming names Thursday.

Prosecutors directed Novitzky to describe his investigative work without identifying any of the players implicated for doping.

Novitzky said he found a trove of evidence in the trash cans of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative, the sports lab at the heart of the scandal. The evidence included empty needle wrappers and e-mails.

Thomas, like Bonds, is accused of making false statements to a grand jury about steroid use.
