Though currently listed as 31 years old, Tejada is actually 33, a fact that goes back to when he signed his first pro contract and said he was 17 when he was really 19. “I’m a poor kid that wanted to sign,” Tejada said. “I’m feeling free now. It’s something that I had in my mind.”
April 11, 2008

The new agreement worked out says that no players mentioned in the report will be punished, but that doesn't speak to the possibility that Tejada could still face an FBI investigation. Tejada has eight RBI and two home runs in his first 10 games as an Astros and he should continue to be one of the best power-hitting shortstops in baseball.

April 1, 2008

Miguel Tejada arrived at Astros camp on Tuesday, refusing to talk about his alleged link to performance-enhancing drugs "I can't really talk about that," Tejada said in the AP. "It's not my position to talk about that. Right now, my mind is really focused on playing baseball." The shortstop is under federal investigation for lying to government authorities regarding steroid use. Even if any trial is delayed well into the season, you have to wonder if Tejada's his off-the-field issues will affect his on-the-field play.
February 13, 2008
The Astros expect Miguel Tejada to arrive in camp on time despite concerns he could have faced trouble entering the United States because of his legal woes. "We're still optimistic he's going to be there on time," manager Ed Wade said in the Houston Chronicle. "I talked to one of his representatives (Tuesday), and we still believe that everything is on schedule." The FBI opened a preliminary investigation last month into whether Tejada lied when he told federal authorities he never took steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs.
January 15, 2008
The US Congress has asked the Justice Department to look into whether Miguel Tejada lied to committee staffers when questioned in connection to the Rafael Palmeiro perjury case in 2005. "Tejada told the committee that he never used illegal performance-enhancing drugs and that he had no knowledge of other players using or even talking about steroids," committee chairman Henry Waxman said in the AP. "Well, the Mitchell Report, however, directly contradicts key elements of Mr. Tejada's testimony." The Mitchell Report listed Tejada as having purchased HGH back in 2003.
