Both the owners and the players are to blame as the steroids saga continues to unfold in Major League Baseballhttp://www.newser.com/2008 - Newseren-usNewser Feed GeneratorThu, 28 Aug 2008 7:37:37 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/32496/baseballs-all-miscreant-team.html?refid=rss_all_defaultWith baseball's All-Stars set to take the field at Yankee Stadium, Radar uses the occasion (and the fact that one is the tabloids' current fixation) to name its All-Morally Inept Team: C: Paul Lo Duca, then with the Mets, got the full New York treatment in 2006, when his affair with a 19-year-old became public. Divorce ensued. 1B: Yankees star Jason Giambi copped to steroid use before a grand jury in 2003, and apologized vaguely in '07.http://www.newser.com/story/32496/baseballs-all-miscreant-team.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 15 Jul 2008 15:45:21 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/28319/players-ok-more-drug-tests.html?refid=rss_all_defaultBaseball players agreed to more frequent drug tests yesterday and gave more clout to the drug program's independent administrator, the AP reports. The tougher guidelines follow recommendations made in the Mitchell Report and mark the third time the league has toughened its doping policy since 2002—each time under the threat of congressional action, the Calgary Herald notes. Owners approved the changes last week.http://www.newser.com/story/28319/players-ok-more-drug-tests.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFri, 23 May 2008 21:51:23 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/28289/baseball-finally-back-to-normal.html?refid=rss_all_defaultAfter over a decade of chemical-fueled insanity, baseball is back to normal, writes Thomas Boswell in the Washington Post. Home run totals are down 10.4% this spring, after an 8% drop last year. The sport is on pace to return to the century-old statistical norms ripped to shreds by the steroid era. “I think this is a good thing,” said Orioles prez Andy MacPhail. “It’s more like baseball.”http://www.newser.com/story/28289/baseball-finally-back-to-normal.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFri, 23 May 2008 8:22:59 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/27392/bonds-hit-with-new-indictment.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThe feds filed a new indictment against Barry Bonds today, charging him with 14 counts of perjury for allegedly lying when he told a grand jury that he never used performance-enhancing drugs and one count of obstructing the government's investigation, ESPN reports. The charges are essentially the same ones lodged against baseball's home-run king in November, before a judge ordered prosecutors to rewrite the original five-count indictment.http://www.newser.com/story/27392/bonds-hit-with-new-indictment.html?refid=rss_all_defaultTue, 13 May 2008 20:27:55 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/26293/celebrity-foreclosure-cansecos-out-at-home.html?refid=rss_all_defaultIt can happen to the rich and famous, too: Jose Canseco's mansion is in foreclosure, and he's had to move into more modest digs, Inside Edition reports. Canseco owed more than $2.5 million on the California property his neighbors called the "hotel." He made $30 million in baseball and wrote two best-sellers, but it wasn't enough to save him from becoming a high-profile statistic of the housing collapse.http://www.newser.com/story/26293/celebrity-foreclosure-cansecos-out-at-home.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThu, 01 May 2008 18:59:28 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/24973/trainer-refutes-canseco-says-a-rods-no-juicer.html?refid=rss_all_defaultA personal trainer says he's the man portrayed in Jose Canseco’s latest tell-all as pushing steroids on Alex Rodriguez; but Joseph Dion—called "Max" in Vindicated —denies any juicing ever happened and says he’s “hurt in every way” by the insinuation. The trainer maintains that throughout their relationship, he and A-Rod were both decidedly anti-steroids, Sports Illustrated reports.http://www.newser.com/story/24973/trainer-refutes-canseco-says-a-rods-no-juicer.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFri, 18 Apr 2008 23:28:57 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/24207/baseball-owners-players-toughen-drug-policy.html?refid=rss_all_defaultClubs and players agreed yesterday to toughen Major League Baseball's anti-doping policy, the AP reports. Players will be tested more frequently without notice, and the game's outside administrator—a position created in 2005 to oversee testing—will get more authority. As part of the deal, all of the players named in the Mitchell Report have been given amnesty.http://www.newser.com/story/24207/baseball-owners-players-toughen-drug-policy.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFri, 18 Apr 2008 23:28:57 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/24101/player-agents-referred-clients-to-steroid-doc.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFederal authorities unsealed an indictment yesterday that charges Dr. Ramon Scruggs and two associates with illegally prescribing performance-enhancing drugs to MLB players. One assertion made in the indictment is that players’ agents referred them to Scruggs, though no agents are named. The doctor, along with associates Allan Danto and Heidi Macpherson, faces 11 charges relating to the illegal distribution of the drugs.http://www.newser.com/story/24101/player-agents-referred-clients-to-steroid-doc.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFri, 18 Apr 2008 23:28:57 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/23934/mosley-knew-he-was-doping-balco-chief.html?refid=rss_all_defaultShane Mosley was perfectly aware he had taken steroids before defeating Oscar de la Hoya in 2003, claims convicted steroid dealer Victor Conte. "He knew what he was taking and I told him that before he took it," BALCO founder Conte said. The prizefighter says he never knowingly took steroids and is suing for libel, the LA Times reports.http://www.newser.com/story/23934/mosley-knew-he-was-doping-balco-chief.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFri, 18 Apr 2008 23:28:57 CDT
