Miguel Tejada is not expected to serve jail time for making false statements to Congress about his knowledge of performance enhancing drugs. Jeffrey Taylor, US attorney for the District of Columbia explained that Tejada should receive probation. His sentencing hearing will be on 26 March. Taylor is quoted as saying, "He understands the seriousness of it. Mr. Tejada poses a minimal risk of recidivism and, based on his public statements, appears to have learned a difficult and important life lesson from his experience in this case." Tejada pleaded guilty on Feb.11 to one count of making misrepresentations to Congress. Tejada was questioned in 2005 by congressional investigators who were trying to determine whether his former teammate with the Baltimore Orioles, Rafael Palmeiro, should have been charged for lying to Congress.
