NY prosecutors meet with steroids investigators

Sept. 14, 2007

Albany (N.Y.) County prosecutors met Thursday with representatives from the Mitchell Commission who are investigating the use of performance-enhancing drugs in Major League Baseball.

Four days earlier, two Albany attorneys representing MLB also met with District Attorney P. David Soares, offering to help.

Still, Soares, whose office has worked for months with NFL officials who provided information, said it remains to be seen how the relationship with MLB will develop.

"There are still rules of engagement and how it seems that we're going to work together that have to be discussed, and if there's anything they can offer us in helping us with our case," he said before Thursday's meeting.

Reports this month linked St. Louis outfielder Rick Ankiel, Toronto third baseman Troy Glaus and Baltimore outfielder Jay Gibbons to the investigation.
