Tejada charged: lying to Congress about steroids

[n64ra]

"WASHINGTON – All-Star shortstop Miguel Tejada has been charged with lying to Congress about steroids. Tejada is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday where he is expected to plead guilty.

The charges against Tejada, who currently plays for the Houston Astros, were outlined in documents filed in Washington federal court on Tuesday.

The documents indicate that a plea agreement has been reached with Tejada."

It's not his steroid use but lying about knowing of a teammate's use. Wonder what the punishment will be...

He has to play for the Astros in 2009.

The Astros will be sub-.500 this year.

Their best hope is that this somehow gives them an out on his contract.

It is absolutely amazing to me that these guys thing they can go in front of Congress and flat out lie.

I am / will be really amazed one can avoid jail time for this action.

Uncle Drayton could put that at least some of that $13M into the draft class and international signings.

Only if a smarter owner takes over his body.

I'll piggy on this thread to express my disappointment in major league baseball for, oh about the past 20 or more years. Maybe 30.
