 Barry Bonds Indicted Uh oh Quote: Federal grand jury indicts Bonds
Associated Press, Updated 2 minutes ago
Barry Bonds was indicted Thursday for perjury and obstruction of justice, charged with lying when he told a federal grand jury that he did not knowingly use performance-enhancing drugs.
If convicted on all five counts, baseball's home run king could go to prison for up to 30 years.
"During the criminal investigation, evidence was obtained including positive tests for the presence of anabolic steroids and other performance enhancing substances for Bonds and other athletes," the indictment read.
In August, the 43-year-old Bonds passed Hank Aaron to become baseball's career home run leader. Late in the season, the San Francisco Giants told the seven-time National League MVP they didn't want him back next year.
Bonds finished the year with 762 homers, seven more than Aaron, and is currently a free agent. In 2001, he set the season record with 73 home runs.
The indictment culminated a four-year investigation into steroid use by elite athletes.

Re: Barry Bonds Indicted I think at the very least his career is over. No team will sign him and take the circus of a trial during the season.

Re: Barry Bonds Indicted Fantastic. How do we go about striking his records from the record books now. Marion Jones's history gets erased. Let's erase his.

Re: Barry Bonds Indicted Los Angeles is such anti-Bonds that even Giants fans from here are rejoicing.

Re: Barry Bonds Indicted They say they have a postive test on him. Maybe they got one through a new source. Could be the Mitchell investigation or maybe Marion Jones had some knowledge. Those were the last two things to happen that involved steroids.

Re: Barry Bonds Indicted It doesn't matter if they have a positive test.
That's not why he's indicted.
He was indicted for lying to the Grand Jury. So they have to have proof he KNOWINGLY took the steroids. Which is where his trainer? comes into play.
