Guilty of not Snitching

Miguel Tejada pled guilty today:

Tejada's guilty plea grew out of statements he made to House investigators denying that he knew anyone in baseball who used performance-enhancing drugs.

His assertions in 2005 were contradicted by evidence that he had talked to an Oakland teammate about his steroids use and later purchased what he believed was human growth hormone from that player.

Is this really the best they can do, convict someone for lying about talking to other people? They couldn't even get him to admit to drug use. Pathetic.

The more I see of the way Congress acts the more I'm pushed over to the libertarian position that drugs should be legal.

Welcome over to this side, David.
Though I do believe that an employer, such as MLB, could (& should) have their own rules on things such as PEDs.

And I wonder how many identity theft cases (for example) went uninvestigated.
