SAN FRANCISCO, May 13 (UPI) -- U.S. prosecutors have filed a new indictment against home run king Barry Bonds.
In documents released Tuesday in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, Bonds was charged with 14 counts of lying to a grand jury and one count of obstruction that he denied knowingly taking illegal performance- enhancing drugs.
U.S. District Judge Susan Illston delayed the case against Bonds in March so government lawyers could correct technical flaws in the original indictment. Bonds' attorneys contended that under law the indictment was deficient because the government can accuse a person of only one crime per count of an indictment.
There are no new allegations in the indictment revealed Tuesday, except that it breaks down the charges ahead of the next hearing, scheduled for June 6.
Each of the counts of lying carries a maximum of five years in prison, a $250,000 fine and up to three years of supervised release.
Bonds, who is a free agent, has 762 home runs.

Indiana says it has been punished enough
BLOOMINGTON, Ind., May 13 (UPI) -- Indiana University officials told the NCAA that its basketball program had been punished enough for alleged rules infractions by former coach Kelvin Sampson.
The officials released its response to the NCAA regarding the Sampson case on Monday. Indiana University officials are to appear in person before the NCAA's committee on Infractions next month, The Indianapolis Star reported.
In February, the NCAA alleged five major rules violations by Sampson regarding recruiting practices. The coach took a buyout and left the team two weeks later. Indiana had already penalized itself a basketball scholarship and limited recruiting.
"Since the University now has a new coaching staff that was not involved in any way with these phone calls (or the other allegations) and since this staff already has to serve the remainder of the self-imposed penalties, the University continues to believe additional penalties are unnecessary," the school's response said.
Sampson, the Star reported, denied the violations but Indiana's formal response claimed the coach isn't credible, citing "numerous inconsistencies" during interviews with school officials.
