The St. Louis Cardinals cut Scott Spiezio on Wednesday after a six-count arrest warrant led to charges this week, according to the Associated Press. "We had heard some things about this," Cardinals' General Manager John Mozeliak told the AP. "Ultimately nothing was ever confirmed to the level it was today. To have this warrant put out there, it completely changes the landscape of what we're dealing with."

The World Anti-Doping Agency has advised Major League Baseball to use an outside testing agency for performance-enhancing drugs, according to the Associated Press. "The message to the average person is very clear: How can you trust in-house [testing]?" WADA President John Fahey said at the Olympic Museum during a symposium. "If you really are serious about eliminating a problem in your sport, then you really could not argue against independent testing," Fahey added.

The Justice Department has been asked by Congress to investigate Roger Clemens regarding whether he "committed perjury and made knowingly false statements" to a House committee. "That testimony is directly contradicted by the sworn testimony of Brian McNamee, who testified that he personally injected Mr. Clemens with anabolic steroids and human growth hormone," the congressmen wrote. "Mr. Clemens's testimony is also contradicted by the sworn deposition testimony and affidavit submitted to the committee by Andrew Pettitte, a former teammate of Mr. Clemens, whose testimony and affidavit reported that Mr. Clemens had admitted to him in 1999 or 2000 that he had taken human growth hormone."

The CEO of the Tribune Company said on Wednesday that he isn't against selling the naming rights to Wrigley Field, according to the Associated Press.

While officials within the MLB Players Association believe that the current drug testing program is "working fine", general counsel Michael Weiner said on Monday that the Union is considering George Mitchell's recommendation for more testing, according to the Associated Press.

"He made some other suggestions as how we can improve the process, and we are discussing those with the commissioner."

Reports from ESPN.com claim that Congress may tell the Justice Department to launch a criminal investigation into whether or not Roger Clemens committed perjury during his testimony earlier this month.

New photographic evidence has emerged in the case against Roger Clemens, and the new information could loom large over the former Cy Young winner, according to The New York Daily News. "We have reason to believe it's reliable evidence," one of Brian McNamee's lawyers told the Daily News on Thursday. "We believe there's photographic evidence that shows Clemens was at a party he says he wasn't at." Of course, the party being referred to was one held by then-teammate Jose Canseco.
