Ramon Scruggs, who was linked last year to prescribing steroids to major league players Troy Glaus and Scott Schoeneweis, is being investigated by the U.S. attorney's office. Three lawyers who have been briefed on the investigation told the New York Times they are investigating whether he illegally wrote prescriptions for patients, including major league baseball players. One of the lawyers said the current investigation had uncovered the names of other major league players who had received prescriptions from Scruggs. Those names are unlikely to be disclosed immediately if legal action is taken, as expected, against Scruggs in the coming months.

Sources familiar with the U.S. Government's evidence against Barry Bonds have told ESPN that records show Bonds failed an additional drug test other than the one reported back in the year 2000. Prosecutors are now expected to make a decision on whether or not to seek a new indictment against Bonds before his next trial date on March 21.
