Ryan Howard cleared in Al Jazeera PED case

Major League Baseball says they could find no wrongdoing on the part of Ryan Howard or anyone else in baseball.

After a lengthy investigation, Major League Baseball says they could find nothing to support claims made in an Al Jazeera documentary that Ryan Howard, or Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman, used or possessed performance enhancing drugs.

The commissioner’s office released this statement to the media.

The ruling by Major League Baseball was expected. Shortly after their press release went public, Howard responded with a statement of his own.

The report that aired on Al Jazeera revolved around claims made by a man associated with a clinic in the Indianapolis area named Charlie Sly.
