AFP: Major League Baseball sees indictment coming for Bonds
Several senior figures in Major League Baseball expect Barry Bonds will be indicted by a San Francisco grand jury investigating the record-setting slugger, a US newspaper reported.
The New York Daily News, citing several unnamed major league sources in a Tuesday internet posting, said indictments for perjury and tax evasion could be issued by next week or the end of July against the
San Francisco Giants outfielder.
A grand jury looking into revelations stemming from the BALCO steroid scandal is scheduled to expire by the end of the month.
The Daily News said their sources had no inside information regarding the grand jury but anticipated that Bonds will be indicted, which would create a nightmare scenario for Major League Baseball during its usual late-season peak.
That expectation, the newspaper reported, came from information about Bonds uncovered in a secret investigation launched more than a year ago - well before former US Senator George Mitchell was named in April to lead an MLB-inquiry into doping allegations.
