Barry Bonds indicted for allegedly lying under oath

I guess I find it hard to take it seriously when baseball players are asked to testify in court about playing a game.

His court testimony was not about playing the game. His court testimony was in relation to a criminal investigation of Balco. He was a witness, not a defendent. Now he is a defendent in a perjury and obstruction of justice case, which is also not about playing the game.

So the legal issues are separate from the fact that he is a cheater. No one goes to jail for cheating at baseball.
