Tejada expected to plead guilty WASHINGTON -- All-Star shortstop Miguel Tejada has been charged with lying to Congress about steroids. Tejada is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday where he is expected to plead guilty. The charges against Tejada, who currently plays for the Houston Astros, were outlined in documents filed in Washington federal court on Tuesday. The documents indicate that a plea agreement has been reached with Tejada. Messages left for his attorney, Mark Tuohey, were not immediately returned. The documents were filed a day after superstar Alex Rodriguez admitted to past use of performance enhancing drugs. According to The Washington Post, federal prosecutors are alleging Tejada made misrepresentations to Congressional staffers during an interview focusing on the use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball. The charge came in "a criminal information," a document that can only be filed with the defendant's consent and usually signals a plea is imminent, according to the report. Tejada is scheduled to appear at 11 a.m. Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Washington, court officials said, according to the Post. Prosecutors did not charge Tejada with lying about allegations concerning his own steroid use, the newspaper reported. Instead, they alleged he gave false statements to Congressional staffers about his conversations with another player about steroids and human growth hormone. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Lee High School during the Feb. 9 meeting of the Goose Creek CISD Board of Trustees. Sedberry, 30, has served as athletic coordinator and head football coach at Polytechnic High School in Fort Worth since 2007. There, Coach Sedberry took over a football program that had won only two games in three years. Coach Sedberry increased the win total at Polytechnic in two seasons, totaling more than the previous six seasons combined. In 2008, Sedberry’s football team was 4-6. Even more remarkable, Coach Sedberry was able to reduce the football squad’s failure rate from 51 percent to 2 percent in just two seasons, while increasing participation in the football program, and promoting dual sport participation. Sedberry is entering his ninth year of teaching and coaching. Before arriving at Poly High School, Sedberry was the offensive coordinator at Lake Highlands High School in Richardson. He has worked his way up the ranks starting at the junior high level. He has coached football, powerlifting, basketball and track. Coach Sedberry Jr., has also served as a student coach and teacher at Greenville High School in Greenville. At both 4A Greenville and 5A Lake Highlands, Coach Sedberry was a member of coaching staffs that earned playoff berths in football. Sedberry said he was attracted to Baytown Lee because of its strong winning tradition and track record of having great athletes. “Robert E. Lee is a recognized program across the state of Texas with high standards which makes it my kind of atmosphere,†Sedberry said. “The town of Baytown is an awesome town with a great sense of community spirit and school pride. I am excited about this opportunity to carry on such rich traditions.†The new coach’s immediate goals are to: • “Re-establish the tradition of being a playoff contender every year, and • “Create an exciting atmosphere at all levels from junior high to high school about Lee football.†Sedberry is a graduate of Poteet High School in Mesquite. He attended the University of Texas A&M at Commerce where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology. Sedberry was on both the Dean’s List and the President’s List at Texas A&M Commerce. Sedberry is a product of a coaching family. His father, Marvin Sedberry Sr. has coached for 35 years at several Texas high schools and is currently the athletic director for the Alief ISD. “I have been around athletics all my life. Early on I knew I wanted to coach football because of the thrill of competition and being the best,†said Sedberry. “It has been a privilege to have such a great role model as my father. Watching his work ethic and meticulous preparation for opponents has instilled poise, pride, class and discipline in my own career.†Bruce Davis, principal of Robert E. Lee, said he believes that the Gander faithful will be very impressed with Coach Sedberry's professionalism and demeanor. “He will be a great role model for not only our athletes but for the entire student body,†said Davis. “His enthusiasm is terrific, and his caring spirit for both academics and athletics is very apparent.†Davis and Goose Creek CISD athletic director Tom Ed Gooden believe that Sedberry is the right person for the job. “Coach Sedberry is a high-energy coach who relates very well with today’s athletes. Everyone we talked to gave him extremely high marks regarding his ability to work with athletes, coaches, parents, fans and administration,†Gooden said. “During his short career, he has been mentored by some of the most respected coaches in the business. We are really excited that he will be a part of the Lee High School and Goose Creek CISD family,†Gooden said.

A-Rod Admits To Use Of Performance Enhancing Drugs!!! His voice shaking at times, Alex Rodriguez met head-on allegations that he tested positive for steroids six years ago, telling ESPN on Monday that he did take performance-enhancing drugs while playing for the Texas Rangers during a three-year period beginning in 2001. "When I arrived in Texas in 2001, I felt an enormous amount of pressure. I needed to perform, and perform at a high level every day," Rodriguez told ESPN's Peter Gammons in an interview in Miami Beach, Fla. "Back then, [baseball] was a different culture. It was very loose. I was young, I was stupid, I was naïve. I wanted to prove to everyone I was worth being one of the greatest players of all time. "I did take a banned substance. For that, I'm very sorry and deeply regretful." Rodriguez's admission comes 48 hours after Sports Illustrated reported that Rodriguez was on a list of 104 players who tested positive for banned substances in 2003, the year when Major League Baseball conducted survey tests to see if mandatory, random drug-testing was needed in the sport. Sources who know about the testing results told SI that Rodriguez tested positive for testosterone and Primobolan, an anabolic steroid. In his ESPN interview, Rodriguez said he did not know exactly which substance or substances he had taken. In 2003, there were no penalties for a positive result. "I am sorry for my Texas years," the New York Yankees third baseman said. "I apologize to the fans of Texas." Rodriguez, who joined the Yankees for the 2004 season after a trade from Texas, said "all my years in New York have been clean." He also said it felt good to be honest about what he's done in the past. "The more honest we can all be, the quicker we can get baseball [back] to where it needs to be," he said. Rodriguez said he was told by Gene Orza, the chief operating officer of the MLB Players' Association, that he might, or might not, have tested positive in the 2003 survey. A source told ESPN on Saturday that Rodriguez knew he had failed the test. "I had never heard anything since," he said. "Whatever I was experimenting with in Texas might have been OK." Rodriguez also said of his 2007 interview with Katie Couric on "60 Minutes," when he denied ever using steroids, that "at the time, I wasn't being truthful with myself. How could I be truthful with Katie Couric or CBS?"

It would be a big raise to i'm sure.

They better do something!
