Federal prosecutors Thursday accused baseball’s reigning home-run king of using steroids and lying to a grand jury about it during a probe into the use of performance-enhancing drugs in professional sports.

A federal grand jury in San Francisco indicted seven-time National League MVP Barry Bonds on four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice, the Justice Department announced. Bonds, 43, repeatedly denied he had knowingly taken banned substances during his December 2003 testimony to an earlier grand jury investigating the distribution of steroids by a San Francisco-area laboratory.

We want to hear from you. What are your thoughts on Barry Bonds? Is he being treated fairly? Should he play again? Should he make it into the Hall of Fame? Do fans even care about alleged steroid use in baseball?
