Gov. Ventura: Where is MLB Commissioner Selig's indictment?
DENVER - Former Minn. Gov. Jesse Ventura says he wonders why the federal government has not indicted Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig after 104 players tested positive for steroids in 2003.

"In the early '90s, the federal government came into pro wrestling and tried to put Vince McMahon in prison for steroid use of wrestlers. My question is: They've now determined 104 baseball players failed their steroid test in 2003 - 104. They indicted Vince McMahon, why aren't they indicting Bud Selig?" Ventura asked. "He's the head of baseball, it happened on his watch."
Ventura, a former professional wrestler, referred to the 1993 federal indictment of McMahon, who at the time was the chief executive officer of the World Wrestling Federation. The former governor of Minnesota made the comments while recording an interview for YOUR SHOW, a viewer-produced news show, scheduled to air on Sunday, Feb. 22.
"What you have here is two sets of law enforcement. One set: 'Oh, pro wrestling, let's go after the head of that and put him in prison for steroid use.' And pro wrestling is not even an athletic competition. We went to court and said we're sports entertainment. Here, you have a legitimate athletic competition with 104 guys using illegal drugs - cheating - and where's the indictment of Bud Selig on this?"
McMahon, who went to trial in 1994 after being accused of steroid distribution to pro wrestlers, was eventually acquitted.
"They indicted Vince McMahon. He had to beat it with his own lawyers or go to prison," Ventura said. "How come Selig isn't being treated the same way?"
The controversy over steroid use in professional baseball flared this week, as the game's highest-paid player, New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, admitted he used performance enhancing drugs from 2001 to 2003 while with the Texas Rangers. The admission came following a report in Sports Illustrated that Rodriguez was among the 104 players who anonymously tested positive for performance enhancers in 2003.
Selig openly chastised Rodriguez last week following his admission, saying the Yankees' star "shamed the game."
The only people indicted in connection to steroid use in professional baseball have been all-time home run king Barry Bonds, who was indicted on federal perjury charges for allegedly lying about his use of performance enhancing drugs; and Houston Astros shortstop Miguel Tejada, who pleaded guilty this week to charges of lying to Congress about steroid use in baseball.
Ventura, who admitted he used steroids, going public about his use in the '90s, says he doesn't buy the argument that Selig was oblivious when it came to the rampant illegal drug use in professional baseball.
"You can't tell me for one minute that Bud Selig and the owners didn't know," Ventura said. "They were profiting from it. Baseball was dead in the water until the big home run race between (Mark) McGwire and Sosa - Sammy - and that rejuvenated baseball, made all the profits so Bud Selig could make $17 million a year."
Forbes recently reported Selig made $17.5 million in 2007, $3 million more than he made the year before, and nearly as much as some of the game's highest-paid players.
"And yet, (Selig) still comes to us public officials and tells us to build them stadiums (with public funding,)" Ventura said. "Interesting - stadiums for drug abusers."
