NEW YORK -- With his staff pursuing yet another investigation into performance-enhancing drugs, Commissioner Bud Selig defended baseballs drug-testing program on the eve of the All-Star game and insisted "this sport is cleaner than its ever been." Selig declined to detail timing for decisions in the probe of the closed anti-aging clinic Biogenesis, accused of distributing performing-enhancing drugs. MLB could attempt to discipline former MVPs Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Braun along with other players. Baseball began drug testing for the 2003 season, added penalties the following year, banned amphetamines in 2006 and started HGH blood testing last year. Critics said baseball didnt move quickly enough. "People say, Well, you were slow to react. We were not slow to react," Selig said Monday. "In fact, I heard that this morning, and it aggravated me all over again." There were eight violations of the major league drug program last year, and All-Star game MVP Melky Cabrera was among those who served a 50-game suspension following a positive PEDs test. There have been no suspensions in the big leagues this year. During a question-and-answer session arranged by Politico, a question was sent by Will, identified as an 8-year-old in Los Angeles. He asked: "How old will I be when ... you can say that there are no more cheaters in baseball, not one?" "Will, this is what I would say to you," Selig responded. "I used to object way back when, when people would talk about steroids. Theyre not a baseball problem or a football problem or a basketball problem. Theyre a societal problem." Selig, who turns 79 on July 30, also denied his willingness to combat steroids has increased during his time in office, which started in 1992. "Some people say now that Im over-vigilant because Im worried about my legacy," he said. "Thats nonsense. Thats the silliest thing Ive ever heard. This is in the best interests of baseball. I was brought up to understand that you are to do whats in the best interest of this sport no matter what, even if its painful, and were going to do that." He maintained the majority of players object to being tainted as playing in whats referred to as the Steroids Era. "Most players on their team didnt do anything. They were as clean as could be," he said. "So the Steroid Era in short to some people implies, well everybody did it. Thats wrong, and its unfair." According to Selig, Major League Baseballs decision to hire former U.S. Secret Service director Mark Sullivan to assist in its Biogenesis probe was evidence of baseballs effort to ensure there are "no stones unturned." "We have many groups, consulting groups that are working on this whole investigation," he said. Selig has said repeatedly he intends to retire, only to change his mind. His current term runs through December 2014, and he has made no effort to start planning for a successor. "Thats a subject that Im going to put off for a while. Right now we havent gotten into specifics," he said. On other subjects, Selig: --said hes never sent an email. "And I never will. ... Im illiterate when it comes to that, and proud of it. ... I did get an iPhone, so Ive made some slight progress." --is concerned about spending on players, whose average salary rose 6 per cent to $3.65 million on opening day, the steepest rise since 2008. Baseballs revenue is projected to reach $8 billion this year, and Selig wants clubs to spend less than half on players. "Weve made some new television deals and our clubs got a little excited, and so we may go over 50 per cent, and thats dangerous. I think we have to work on more mechanisms." --is deferring action on the Oakland Athletics preference to build a ballpark in San Jose until the city of San Joses antitrust suit against MLB moves forward. San Jose is in the territory of San Francisco Giants. "We are defending ourselves. So before I make any decisions, well see what happens to that. I feel pretty good." --is concerned with Tampa Bay and Miami, which have the lowest attendance averages in the major leagues. "I certainly havent given up on Florida. The demographics are too good," he said. As for Tampa, "We have a stadium problem there. Theres no question about it." And for Miami, "Weve had some things happen that need to be corrected." --Asked what song he would use to for his introduction while walking to home plate for an at-bat: "Bridge over Troubled Water."

Scott Kazmir allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning and the Indians maintained their hold on an AL wild-card spot with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night. Air Force 1 España . -- Gus Malzahn finally had his day in Fayetteville. MADISON, Wis. -- Corey Clement will take as many carries as he can get, even if he doesnt need to carry the whole load at Wisconsin.Clement is one of the two senior tailbacks atop the depth chart for the 10th-ranked Badgers. But with his breakaway speed, Clement is the key to the offense.Looking for more. Still hungry for carries, Clement said two days was after he ran for 86 yards and a score on a career-high 21 carries in the 16-14 upset of LSU at Lambeau Field in Green Bay.Felt like I still had a lot more in the tank as far as the game kept going, Clement said.What a difference a year makes for Clement, who got hurt the week of last seasons opener against Alabama. He suffered what turned out to be a sports hernia, and had surgery a few weeks later. He wasnt really the same the rest of the year. In November, Clement was involved in a scrum at his apartment building, which led to a police citation for disorderly conduct.Clement did finish 2015 with 66 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries in the 23-21 win over Southern California in the Holiday Bowl.All through the offseason and preseason, Clement talked about getting a fresh start. Nothing like a rousing win over an SEC power to get his senior year going. The victory also gave the Badgers a lift into the AP Top 25 , matching its best season debut in the poll with a No. 10 ranking.Its up to us to keep all the preparation, all the hard work going, Clement said Monday at Camp Randall Stadium.The Badgers offensive line sent another message with a solid job against LSUs athletic defense. It was a step forward for aa young front five that starts a new left tackle, junior college transfer Ryan Ramczyk, and four sophomores.ddddddddddddI thought that guys played physical and what helped is that they were prepared, coach Paul Chryst said.One of the four, left guard Micah Kapoi, had a left leg injury that has left him questionable for the home opener on Saturday against Akron. He was replaced by redshirt freshman Jon Dietzen, but the line still held up relatively well.Theyre blocking for two seniors in Clement and backup Dare Ogunbowale, who ran for 44 yards on nine carries against LSU. Ogunbowale, a former defensive back, has turned into a team leader and solid all-around back.Dare, you trust him in any situation, offensive coordinator Joe Rudolph said Tuesday.And maybe, just maybe, the Badgers might dust off a few plays that use both running backs in the backfield. The last time that they did that was two years ago, when they had Melvin Gordon and Clement.Whether Dare is lined up in the slot or Im lined up in the slot, and somebodys in the backfield -- just to throw off the defense a little bit more, Clement said.Playing time isnt up to him, though. The rotations are up to running back coach John Settle, though he wont turn down any opportunity to take a carry.Im hoping he looks forward to keep feeding me the rock, Clement said.---Online: AP College Football site: http://collegefootball.ap.org/---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAP ' ' '
