Former San Francisco Giant and current MLB Free Agent Barry Bonds was indicted by federal prosecutors on Thursday. Bonds is being charged with perjury and obstruction of justice for lying under oath that he did not use performance enhancing drugs during the grand jury investigation on steroid use by elite athletes.

Part of the indictment reads; "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,"

Bonds has been charged with 4 counts of perjury and 1 count of obstruction of justice. If convicted on all 5 counts, he could spend up to 30 years in prison.

An excerpt from a San Francisco Chronical article: "According to the indictment, in response to one question, Bonds told prosecutors that he didn't believe that his personal trainer, Greg Anderson, had ever given him banned drugs. Anderson later pleaded guilty to steroid distribution charges in the BALCO case. Bonds' statement was false, the grand jury that indicted Bonds today concluded."
