Barry Bonds appeared in federal court in San Francisco today, where he pleaded not guilty to four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice. These charges arise from his alleged use of steroids to improve his performance as a baseball player.
During the 2007 baseball season, Bonds increased his career home-run record to 762, more than any other player in major league history. The charges stem from an appearance Bonds made before a federal grand jury in 2003, where he repeatedly denied that he had ever used steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs. According to the indictment, Bonds committed perjury 19 times at the grand jury hearing.
Barry's home run record is starting to look a bit tarnished.
