If it can be demonstrated, as the book flat out states, that he was fully aware of what he was doing when he told the grand jury that he wasn't, then he will have been caught in a lie under oath.

One of the news stories quotes a federal prosecutor refusing to "confirm or deny" whether or not Bonds is back under investigation as a result of the revelations in the book . . . . . you would expect that reaction but it was a pretty smart move on the part of a reporter to ask the question since the conflict is obvious.

Watch for more on that angle.
