Barry Bonds was indicted today for purgery and obstruction of justice in regards to his trainer's steroid distribution trial several years ago, and evidence includes positive steroid tests.   thumbs

The Mitchell Report is due out at the end of the year, and is supposed to name names of steroid users it's uncovered.

It's an interesting time not only in baseball, but in sports in general, because the shoe is going to drop and names will come out.

Well, my opinion of this case is...marred.

He is in trouble for lying under oath to a federal grand jury. He should do what 'ol Billy Clinton did, when he got caught lying under oath. Apologize. If old man Clinton can avoid impeached for lying under oath, Bonds should get a stern lecture. The judical branch is worthless.

It's more likely he'll get the Martha Stewart treatment, short sentance, maybe some home arrest, but there are other issues.

His being convicted proves he cheated regularly in baseball, and makes it quite obvious (not like it wasn't before), so it puts MLB in an odd situation as well.

The legal ramifications of the Bonds case are minor to the ramifications on MLB, and potentialy other pro sports.
