STEROIDS BACK IN BASEBALL SPOTLIGHT

A tough stretch for baseball on the steroids front: New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez last week admitted during an ESPN interview that he used steroids between 2001 and 2003 after his name was linked as one of 104 Major League Baseball players who tested positive in 2003.


Houston Astros shortstop Miguel Tejada added fuel to the fire during the week when he admitted lying to U.S. congressional investigators in 2005 about a conversation he had with former Oakland teammate Adam Piatt about steroids and human growth hormones.

Finally, former pitcher Roger Clemens drew the ire of ex-Congressman Chris Shays of Connecticut, who told the New York Daily News he believes Clemens lied to Congress during his testimony last year on his alleged use of steroids, adding that “he was incredibly arrogant about it.”

And how was your week?
