Commissioner Bud Selig has not ruled out suspending players who might have violated United States law even if they did not violate baseball's drug policy, a high-ranking major league official said Wednesday. Angels center fielder Gary Matthews Jr., who is expected to be summoned to Selig's office next month to discuss a report that linked him to human growth hormone, could be one of the affected players. Matthews, Cleveland pitcher Paul Byrd, St. Louis outfielder Rick Ankiel and Texas infielder Jerry Hairston Jr. have been associated with HGH in published reports. Toronto third baseman Troy Glaus, New York Mets pitcher Scott Schoeneweis and Baltimore outfielder Jay Gibbons have been linked to steroids.
