Miguel Tejada has announced he will still play in the World Baseball Classic this spring, despite the steroid controversy he has been embroiled in. Tejada also announced he would play in the next winter tournament in the DR with the Aguilas Cibaenas. Tejada recently admitted to lying to Congress during a 2005 hearing regarding his purchase of illegal performance-enhancing drugs. The court judgment will be announced on 26 March, and though jail time and even deportation are a possibility, these are highly unlikely. Speaking on RPQ 1080 AM, Tejada said everything should be OK and he will be able to continue playing ball. There has been murmuring that Tejada should have his MVP award taken away because of his admission, but supporters of Tejada say there were no rules on the books in MLB when Tejada consumed the drugs that would merit his award being taken away.
