Baseball superstar Barry Bonds was charged Thursday with perjury and obstruction of justice for allegedly lying when he said he did not use performance-enhancing drugs.
The indictment, unsealed Thursday by federal prosecutors in San Francisco, is the culmination of a four-year federal probe into whether he lied under oath to a grand jury investigating steroid use by elite athletes.
The indictment comes three months after the 43-year-old Bonds, one of the biggest names in professional sports, passed Hank Aaron to become baseball's career home run leader, his sport's most hallowed record.

I wonder if he’ll continue to demand The Baseball Hall Of Fame remove the asterisk from the 756 ball.

Why did they wait until this piece of excrement broke Hammer'en Hanks record? If bad barry goes to jail then neither the player with the most home runs nor the most hits {Rose} will get into the baseball hall of fame.

More publicity for the prosecutor, which is always the central point.
