SAN FRANCISCO -- Barry Bonds is headed to trial next March on federal charges of lying to a grand jury about his use of performance-enhancing drugs.

The trial date was set Friday after baseball's home run king pleaded not guilty when he was re-arraigned on 15 felony counts of lying under oath and obstruction of justice.

Lead Bonds attorney Allen Ruby entered a plea of not guilty to the charges on the slugger's behalf, while Bonds stood silently in front of the judge. Ninety minutes later, Ruby agreed to a March 2, 2009, trial date before a second judge.

cont......

His career is over. Just wish it coulda been before he broke the HR record.  If he's convicted, his stats will be wiped off he board, one would hope.

If he's found guilty then we can only hope...

I do agree that his career is over. While it may not be impossible it's really difficult to think of a team that would be willing to take a chance on him.

I will confess that there was a part of me that didn't want to see Barry Bonds break the home run record simply because I liked the fact that it was held by an Atlanta Brave.
