Bonds indictment likely
Perjury charge also could lead to MLB suspension
| QUOTE |
| Lester Munson: This is not a big surprise. This has been lurking for two years. Myself and others trying to report on this thought that the government had dropped the ball on the perjury charge. I thought they would have indicted Bonds a year ago, so in my opinion, based on what I know, the likelihood of an indictment is very high. There is no question based upon the San Francisco Chronicle's reporting and based upon reporting done by myself and Sports Illustrated that Bonds lied to the grand jury. The only question is, why has the government waited this long to look into it? To me this charge is obvious and overdue. |

The above was a quote from SI Legal Expert Lester Munson. He is of the opinion that Bond will be found guilty of perjury and this could lead to a suspension from baseball in general. If this happens, my vote would be to also strike all his statistics from MLB, including all records, most notably the Home Run record. Bonds, in my opinion, is a smug, self-centered player who cares nothing about the game or the fans, and wants to make everyone think he is being persecuted. He cheated, and he should pay for it. Cheaters don't win in the MLB; ask Pete Rose.
