MLB slugger Barry Bonds was indicted for perjury and obstruction of justice by a federal grand jury on Thursday. The 43-year old Bonds lied to the jury in telling them that he did not knowingly take performance-enhancing drugs.
There is rumored to be a mountain of evidence against the outfielder, who has several times denied taking steroids or any type of performance-enhancer. In December 2003, Bonds testified that his trainer, Greg Anderson, did not give him any drugs because Anderson "knew (Bonds) was against that." The home run king is also being charged with lying that Anderson never injected him with steroids.
Bonds holds the all-time home run record with 762 long balls. He broke Henry Aaron's record of 755 back on Aug. 7th against the Washington Nationals. Now a free agent, Bonds batted .276 with 28 homers and 66 RBI in 340 at-bats with the San Francisco Giants last season. He has spent 15 of his 22 professional seasons with the Giants, but he will be wearing a different uniform in 2008 if another team is willing to take him.
