Barry Bonds: Facing Perjury Charges?

A federal grand jury involved with investigating Barry Bonds is considering the possibility of whether or not Barry Bonds committed perjury. The following is part of the report from the San Francisco Chronicle:
A federal grand jury is investigating whether Barry Bonds committed perjury when he testified in 2003 that he never used steroids, according to media reports.

The panel has been hearing evidence for more than a month about whether the Giants' slugger lied to a different grand jury that was investigating the BALCO scandal, according to reports Thursday night on CNN and the San Francisco Chronicle's Web site.

Luke Macaulay, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in San Francisco, told The Associated Press that he could neither confirm nor deny the reports. The story was first broadcast on CNN, which cited "multiple sources" it did not identify.
