NFL: Ex-player Stubblefield charged with perjury
By PAUL ELIAS
Associated Press Writer
Stubblefield, a three-time Pro Bowler who testified before the BALCO grand jury in November 2003, is charged with lying to federal agents about his alleged use of performance enhancing drugs.
The charges unsealed in federal court in San Francisco allege Stubblefield made false statements to an Internal Revenue Service Agent when he allegedly said he had not used steroids linked to the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative and denied receiving performance enhancing drugs from BALCO founder Victor Conte.
In a brief Friday morning court appearance, the 37-year-old Stubblefield pleaded not guilty and was released on bail. He was scheduled for another appearance in court later Friday.
