Major League Baseball announced Monday severe suspensions for 12 players connected to a Miami anti-aging clinic, but Washington Nationals pitcher Gio Gonzalez is not among the names.

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 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.

Late last week, Alex Ovechkin was accused of using steroids by a columnist in Pennsylvania. Yesterday, he responded.

I may not know much about hockey, but I do know this: Alex Ovechkin is about as close to a hometown sports hero as we have. So when he gets accused of using performance enhancing drugs, it better be well-sourced.
