Bonds not fazed by possible indictment

Associated Press The Spokesman-Review

MILWAUKEE – Barry Bonds says he is unfazed by the threat of an indictment that could not only derail his career but send him to jail.

“Do I look concerned?” Bonds asked a small group of reporters by his locker Saturday before the San Francisco Giants faced the Milwaukee Brewers. “You guys just want more stories about me. It’s unreal.”

Bonds, just two home runs from tying Hank Aaron’s record of 755, could be indicted if a federal grand jury determines he perjured himself when he testified in the BALCO case that he hadn’t knowingly taken performance-enhancing drugs.

Thursday marked the year anniversary of the start of the grand jury in San Francisco investigating Bonds, and it appeared that the yearlong term had been extended. The strongest indication that the grand jury remained in session was the continued incarceration of Bonds’ personal trainer, Greg Anderson.
