"The saga that has become the United States vs. Barry Lamar Bonds -- now more than seven years in the making -- inflated into a full-blown odyssey Tuesday, just three weeks before the home run king is scheduled to go to trial and face perjury and obstruction of justice charges.
. . ...
"A day in which Bonds had to plead not guilty yet again -- that's four times now -- because the government repeatedly has had to rewrite its indictment. The latest charging document alleges four counts of perjury rooted essentially in Bonds' denials that he ever knowingly used steroids or human growth hormone, as well as his statements that he was never injected by anyone other than his doctor. As well, he also faces a count of obstructing justice for what the government claims were repeated lies during his December 2003 testimony in the BALCO steroids case."
