Quote : | "SAN FRANCISCO -- Major League Baseball's all-time home run king Barry Bonds was indicted Thursday on perjury and obstruction justice charges, according to KTVU reporter Rita Williams.
The five-count indictment -- four counts of perjury and one of obstruciton of justice -- capped one of the longest federal grand jury investigations in Northern California history -- a proceeding that introduced the sports world to the acronym BALCO (Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative) and led to the downfall of American track and field world and Olympic champions Marion Jones, Kelli White and Tim Montgomery.
It touched the NFL with several current and former players called to testify including former All-Pro linebacker Bill Romanowski.
It also sparked the ongoing debate surrounding Major League Baseball and its problems with athletes taking performance enhancing drugs. It's a debate that has gone to such lengths that the home run ball that Bonds ripped out of AT&T Park to break Hank Aaron's all-time record was headed to the Baseball Hall of Fame tattooed with an asterisk.
The charges against Bonds stem from his Dec.4, 2003 grand jury testimony when he allegedly testified that he did not knowingly take performance enhancing drugs.
Bonds trainer and friend Greg Anderson was convicted in the BALCO case on grand jury charges, served time in jail and returned to prison when he refused to testify again against Bonds. He remains in jail.
But others have allegedly testified to the grand jury that Bonds had admitted to using steroids produced by BALCO including the slugger's former mistress Kimberly Bell and a former childhood friend Stevie Hoskins.
The tax charges stem from cash Bonds allegedly collected -- and did not report to the Internal Revenue Service -- from memorabilia shows.
Bonds broke Hank Aaron's record with his 756th home run on Aug. 7 -- an event not without plenty additional drama brought on by the federal drug probe.
Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig grudgingly attended the games leading up to Bonds historic homer and Aaron did not travel to AT&T Park to witness the feat in person.
The large banners commemorating the record still hang from the light posts on either side of the main center-field scoreboard at AT&T Park.
Bonds ripped 762 homers in his 22 major league season and has recently talked about continuing his career else, possibly in nearby Oakland where the American League's designated hitter rule would allow him to bat but not play in the field where his aging body has robbed him of speed and quickness.

ESPN's legal analyst says there's nothing new in the indictment and that the U.S. attorney had all the evidence listed three years ago (this grand jury has been going on for four years). He says this unless the attorney got Bonds' trainer to turn and testify, however the attorney put none of that in the indictment and hasn't said yet if he has gotten Bonds' trainer to testify.
My gut: the attorney realized he wasn't going to get anything more and just had to indict cause he had to show something for four years' worth of effort and taxpayer dollars looking into it. 11/15/2007 5:57:35 PM |

I don't think they would indict unless they had something that they think they can convict him on. Otherwise they are wasting time and money and would hurt any case they might have in the future. 11/15/2007 6:08:22 PM |

His foolproof evidence was: they didn't go after Sosa or McGwire.
wat? Is Sosa white or something? Is Hank Aaron white? So white society is trying to keep a black man from breaking another black man's record?

No but it helps your recovery time and being able to stay in the game longer when your body is breaking down...therefore able to put up more numbers.

1. Never failed a drug test - They just started testing in MLB 2 seasons ago
2. Its baseball so who gives a shit - Baseball may not be popular in NC but it is still a very popular sport
3. Congress goes after someone who "maybe" juiced it up but not the Devil himself GWB - That makes no sense, unles GWB is juicing in the White House
4. Its all a big fucking joke - Baseball is very stat oriented so this isn't a joke.
5. Juicing doesnt help you but the bat on the ball so all of you need to get off of his dick, go outside and play, and quit fuckin talkin about it. - Steroids might not help you make contact but it does help you in the power department and it helps you recover quickly which helped him keep playing. 11/16/2007 11:30:11 AM |

This is finally going to be far easier to explain to all the Bonds apologists who like to claim that he has never failed a drug test or been proven guilty.
Now the answer doesn't need to be, "He admitted to using the cream and the clear, which are steroids, and he tested positive for amphetamines"
The answer is, "Yes, he did test positive for steroids...go away"

actually, no he hasn't. he's tested positive for amphetamines, and the DEA confiscated blood analysis from BALCO that they managed to cross reference the number code on to the first name Barry. that hardly classifies as a failed drug test.11/16/2007 5:36:27 PM |
