• A-Rod's Steroid Bust: How It Really Went Down

  Alex Rodriguez did an Andy Pettitte yesterday and admitted to taking steroids. Though he wasn't facing any legal jeopardy, it's probably for the best that he did this as Jason Giambi, Gary Sheffield and Andy Pettitte were all able to easily go on with their careers after their admissions whereas we all know about what Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens have dealt with as a result of their continued denials. Rodriguez was exposed by Selena Roberts of Sports Illustrated as a steroid user on Saturday

• This Just In: Miguel Tejada Charged With Lying to Congress About the Steroids

  It's just now being reported that charges are being brought against Houston Astros shortstop Miguel Tejada for lying to Congress. Details are still slight and sketchy, so it's not known if it's a full-on perjury charge, or if they're getting at him for interfering with the investigation. Tejada was interviewed by Congressional investigators following Rafael Palmeiro's failing of a steroid test. Palmeiro had only months earlier sworn to Congress that he had never used steroids. And Tejada

• Miguel Tejada Expected to Plead Guilty of Perjury; A-Rod Still a Scapegoat

  At ten o'clock this morning, a federal prosecutor and Miguel Tejada will appear in front of a U.S. District Court judge and a six-page criminal information will be entered before the Court. It is expected that, at that time, Tejada will plead guilty to lying before Congress. It is thought that the prosecution will then ask the judge to accept the terms of a plea agreement that has been entered into between Tejada and the Feds. The judge does not have to accept this agreement, but generally,

Crying and stumbling over his words, Tejada confessed his sorrow for not telling Congressional investigators that he knew of another player that took steroids. Tejada and his posse, including his attorney Mark Tuohey, refused to accept questions from the press, and both put a spin on what happened to Tejada earlier that doesn't quite match with the facts of what actuall

• Roger Clemens vs. Brian McNamee: Dismissed (Mostly)

  Photo by ToFuGunsSrsly. As happened so many times in his career, when it came to clutch time, Roger Clemens has failed to deliver. U.S. District Court Judge Keith Ellison today dismissed most of Roger Clemens' defamation suit against Brian McNamee, Clemens' former trainer. Ellison partially dismissed the suit on jurisdictional issues, ruling that because McNamee's statements to George Mitchell's investigators were made in New York, and that McNamee's follow-up press statements to Sports Illu
