12-14) 12:51 PST -- A former world-class cyclist who was caught up in the BALCO steroid scandal was indicted Thursday on charges of lying to a federal grand jury about her use of banned drugs.

Tammy Thomas, who won the silver medal at the 2001 World Track Cycling Championships, was charged with perjury and obstruction of justice in connection with her Oct. 30, 2003 testimony before the grand jury that was investigating the Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative sports doping case.

In 2002, Thomas was banned from cycling for life after she tested positive for a little-known steroid promoted by an Illinois chemist associated with BALCO.
