Major League Baseball will attempt to suspend 20 players connected to a now-shuttered Miami clinic, according to an ESPN report last night, but the Washington Nationals pitcher is reportedly safe.

The federal government joined a civil lawsuit against Lance Armstong, alleging that the cyclist and the company that owns the Tour de France team for which he competed defrauded the United States Postal Service.

The Washington Nationals’ ace denies that he is among several high-profile Major League Baseball players linked to a Miami clinic accused of selling performance-enhancing drugs.

Roger Clemens, one of the most statistically accomplished pitchers in baseball history, was found not guilty today on charges of lying to Congress during a notorious 2008 hearing on steroid abuse in Major League Baseball.
