The 12-year veteran and two-time Silver Slugger Award winner, Miguel Tejada, will be sentenced March 26 after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor for misleading Congress regarding the use of performance-enhancing drugs last month. With this, Tejada becomes the first Major League Baseball superstar to get convicted of a crime relating to steroids.
In the plea agreement, Tejada admitted to withholding information about a former teammate’s use of steroids and HGH during questioning by House committee investigators at a Baltimore hotel in August, 2005. Even though Tejada was not under oath, he understood the penalty of being untruthful with investigators. He confessed to buying human growth hormones as a member of the Oakland A’s in 2003, but ultimately decided not to use the drugs and threw them away.
The misdemeanor charge carries up to one year in jail, but federal guidelines calls for a reduced sentence of probation to six months. Since Tejada has no previous arrests and portrays himself as a reasonably prudent person, he faces no jail time if Kay agrees to the plea bargain.
By receiving a reduced sentence of probation, Tejada may have to pay a fine ranging from $250 to $5,000. He enters the final year of a six-year, $72 million contract and hopes to make a tremendous impact on an Astros’ lineup that already includes All-Star sluggers Lance Berkman, Carlos Lee and Ivan Rodriguez.
