Has anyone ever been convicted of perjury merely for lying about the
use of performance enhancing drugs under oath?

If no, then has anyone even been indicted merely for lying about it
under oath?

Wiki reports that Marion Jones was convicted of pejury in part due to
lying about using steroids but also for lying about an actual illegal
activity not connected with sports cheating.

Dumbass -

I don't think so.

The main reason is sports rules violations are supposed to be dealt with by
sports governing bodies, not the legal system.

She lied about who her supplier was, not whether she was doping.

Thomas was charged with three counts of perjury and one count of obstruction
of justice when she lied to a jury under oath about taking steroids. She
lied when she told the grand jury that she never knowingly used steroids.

This is old news. Everyone knows about TT case and that she lied about
taking steroids. The point is she lied under oath about steroid use.

The point is/was lying under oath. Hence the obstruction charge. Now if
she was the president and had sex with Monica Lewinski and lied about it
..... She'd get off scot free.
