Catcher in performance-enhancing drug report suspended
By Associated Press
Former major-league catcher Taylor Teagarden, among the athletes accused of using performance-enhancing drugs in a December report by Al Jazeera, was suspended for 80 games Friday by Major League Baseball.
In its announcement, MLB said Teagarden violated the big-league drug program but did not specify the nature of the violation.
Al Jazeera accused several high-profile athletes of using performance-enhancing drugs, among them Philadelphia first baseman Ryan Howard, Washington first baseman Ryan Zimmermanand then Denver quarterback Peyton Manning. Manning denied the allegations, and William Burck, a lawyer for Howard and Zimmerman, called the charges "outright lies."
Al Jazeera broadcast video of Teagarden talking about taking a banned substance called Delta-2.
